I'll let you figure out what other time in European history this happened and the results that came from it...



A war that cost 120% of the U.S.'s GDP at the time, a war in which 50 million people died, including 400,000 American soldiers.

The scenarios are similar, except this time we didn't waste time bullchitting with a tyrant, we outright own3d his sorry a$$.

Iraq war info - .5% of the U.S.'s GDP, little over 500 American soldiers died.

Which one is better? I'll take the latter, thank you very much.
