War with China.

Would we win? United States or China. Today in history class I had a weird feeling we would go to war with china over oil. China is demanding more oil and the U.S gas prices are rising like no other. Please no flaming, just posts your thoughts. If we were ever to go to war with china, I think we would beat them pretty bad with our technology. They do have a way bigger army but their poorly trained and equipped.

we would give them a woopin because our army is far superior. our airforce is stacked. we have planes that you can barely see, submarines, you name it we got it.

we've fought 2 front wars before (i.e. japan and germany)... we might be able to pull it off again (i.e. iraq and china)

but we are weakened right now due to oil prices, suffering economy and the war in iraq...

iraq and china does not count a a 2 front war. we arnt at war with iraq, we are at war with terrorists that reside in iraq. iraq is such a small small small conflict that you shouldnt even include it in a war with china. if we did go to war we would have a draft, and we would have 2 million people in the army within a year. I mean in Vietnam we had a million men in country at once.

i hate to be the one to point this out but China's standing army is much larger than ours could probably ever be. they have like 4 times our population.

in an all-out war, we'd probably not win.

dub...when did you get a vette? and how are you affording it? wtf man..pics or gtfo

China has a billion people now. If we fight on their turf we lose. On our soil we win, simple as that.

and look where those 1 million men got us... we went in to spread democracy... came out with a bunch of pine boxes filled with boys.

the same thing is happening overseas... we pour in millions of dollars and hundreds of men, and I haven't heard of any successes...

quite frankly I think it's bull****.... God bless our soldiers, I have friends and family that fight and have fought... but this **** is getting out of hand.

with china it would probably result in a nuclear war and guess what? we are the leading producer of nuclear weapons. we just sit here and fire off missile after missile after missile at them. the could do the same but we can shoot down any missiles fired at our country.

also it does not matter the size of hte army.

mistake in vietnam was that we faught the war completely wrong. we used a method called the body count where the theory was that we would kill the enemy faster than they could replenish their forces. turned out this was wrong because we killed more than 1 million nva and vietcong.

i also used that example to show how fast we can build up an army.
