where idd i say that there is always another choice to war?
i never said it, this has no relevance to what i was saying.

Ask the South Koreans how they felt when North Korea over-ran their country with no notice in 1950. Ask the Kuwaiti's how they felt when the same thing happened as Iraq rolled over their land, killing, raping and stealing everything in sight in 1990.

Belgium did fight in Korea, Belgium was in the Gulf 1 coalition, it was also in Youguslavia for that matter
but it still has no relevance to the discussion we had earlier
0% relevant, you're sidetracking things so you can make me out to be a liberal hippy ingrate...

Will not ask about WW2 as we all know how fast Belgium surrendered instead of fighting. Poland stood their ground, fought and slowed down the Nazi's more than Belgium did.

zero relevance to this discussion, Belgium was indeed run over ... that's the concept of Blitzkrieg for ya...
besides, the Belgians DID hold the Germans at bay so the Brittish could save lives and evacuate at Dunquerque
but again , ZERO relevance to the discussion here...

i don't eat snails, and your little snips about surrendering and what not have no relevance.. your just ranting away , without having any points to make about the discussion
i'll remind you : War as a concept is not noble
you have not been able to provide 1 single shred of evidence of the contrary , you've only prooven to be good at dodging the core of a discussion...
