Will the US ever win another war?

The Kuwait War, the Tanker War, and Grenada.

In all seriousness we didn't have to go into grenada as Cuban and Grenadian officials promised the safety of the medical students.

Particular concern was expressed over the fate of 800 American students at the U.S.-run St. George's University School of Medicine. The safe arrival in the United States of the initial group of happy and relieved students evacuated from Grenada resulted in excellent photo opportunities for the administration. It appears, however, that the students' lives were never actually in any danger prior to the invasion itself.

Grenadan and Cuban officials had met only days earlier with administrators of the American medical school and guaranteed the students' safety. Urgent requests by the State Department's Milan Bish to medical school officials that they publicly request U.S. military intervention to protect the students were refused. Five hundred parents of the medical students cabled President Reagan to insist he not take any "precipitous action." Staff members from the U.S. embassy in Barbados visited Grenada and saw no need to evacuate the students.

Son,

How about you backing off and start reading threads before jumping in with things you have absolutely no clue about. There's a lot of info in these threads. Try to understand the tone before you pretend to know more than the guys who were there.
