Guam Could Be America's Greatest Weapon Against China (2007)

[@jjohnson4153]

Thank you to the people of Guam for your many sacrifices on behalf of the United States of America.

[@xeji4348]

They're angry that the US is taking over the island. They can care less if you amend them for their sacrifices. The people just want their island back.

[@tz4217]

@Michael Maya that is stupid

[@nuffsaid8706]

[@gruntusmc8922]

​​​​@@xeji4348; If they're so angry why do they still Serve in our Armed Forces?. Guam, The Philippines, The Marshal Islands and PR were ceded to The USA after The Hispano-American War of 1898. The Philippines received their Independence after WW2,(and We still have bases and forces deployed for their defense). The Marshal Islands sometime later as an "Associated Republic",(wich still use our currency and their defense is under our Armed Forces), however Guam as the Island of PR are currently territories of the USA, their population are Citizens of our Country and have made extremely valuable contribution in times of War. Their Sacrifice won't be forgotten. Guam are very dedicated Servicemembers while PR has provided some of the best Infantrymen in our Armed Forces and for that We're extremely grateful. We'll Protect these territories to the best of our ability and then some, they are our Citizens and they've earned it. While any person serves in our Country's Military are all Brothers, it doesn't matter the branch of Service. The enemy ammunition doesn't discriminate between branches of our Brothers. Semper Fi!.

[@Advtaiwan]

I went to Guam for my birthday, absolutely beautiful ! And since I am an American technically I can live there. The Guam people are very kind people.

[@vegass04]

Guam is truly a super base but being a super base its also a juicy target. That's why US military is introducing a new concept of small dispersed bases or outposts which will be relocatable and not easy to target and destroy. But that aside Guam is strategically extremely important since it can only be targeted by ballistic missiles, any fighter jet force would be annihilated way before it got an opportunity to fire its weapons upon Guam.

[@Dovid2000]

The narrator said: "Japan's government is contributing $6 billion U.S. dollars to help transfer 8,000 American marines from Okinawa to be permanently stationed in Guam." Just goes to show you that Japan does not want American troops on their soil.

...you think that, not them, sir! If things would be the way I think, Russia would be a Democratic Nation State, not a dictatorship of a state, free speech would be the home rule for all Russians, news paper, broadcasting news and the internet. Russians could travel to the European Union and wherever they please. Russia would be part of the European Union and all European Union Nations would be improving tech, better health condition for all Russians needed by its population and Russia instead of been a menace to other nearby states, would be helping them to elevate their tech and societies for a better way of living, not meaning them with invasion.

Guam is part of what the PRC called "Di San Dao Lian"/"The 3rd Island chain", according to an article I translated published in the PLA magazine "Naval and Merchant Ships". This was way back in 1990. They consider it part of their outer sphere of influence. They are patient and believe in long term planning. So take your pick Guam, the USA or China? Guam has NEVER ruled itself unless you want to go back to pre-Spanish. It's been a colony one way or the other for 500 years.

These guys do not represent my interests at all as an American citizen. Look at his smile. So naive and foolish. That's a captain speaking? Thats the commanding officer? Its like bringing rottweilers to somebody's house and telling them you want peace and security in the region. A show of force is a request for submission from the other party. Peace is not the message they are delivering. You don't bring a gun if you don't intend to use it. You don't point it at anybody if you don't intend to shoot. A dog barks when its scared. To me bringing in 3 carriers means the Military is scared. Its barking and barking.

[@victorolvera6482]

quest 34667 I guess Washington is not representing me, its acting on its own. But still the strength of an officer comes from the soldiers. The obedience of a soldier is weights a lot more then a vote on a valot. If the soilders there are doing things against their will I guess more serious issues exist. You are saying we don't have a volunteer military. You imply that Washington is controlling you and your fellow soldiers. If that is sooo I recommend you file for conscientious objectors and leave the military. I'll tell you what, you have my pity. You and your fellow soldiers got yourselves into a muddy situation. I understand that sometimes it takes more courage to leave the military then to obey orders. hopefully God takes charge and dissolves any potential bloody situations before you have to do your job.

The World is more aware now than during 40's 50's 60's and even 90's and since most nations already knows that US is only for its imperialist benefits and its oligarchs who's running the wall street. Hence there's no drive for those forced un-nations to fight for Rothschild his Oil rigs and Banks.

[@chee_liekho6673]

In today's asymmetrical war paradigm USA is no more superior. In fact there is not much difference between the 3 big powers - Russia, China and USA. The reason is missile technology and nuclear war heads had already made all the other hardware obsolete. The relatively cheap and low maintenance of aircraft carrier killer missiles had practically neutralise the USA 10 carriers at 1 millionth the costs. Missiles can reach Guam base in minutes. even with a missile defence system they can be overwhelmed. And the satellite killer missiles will take down all the navigational satellites at the start of the war rendering all the high tech navigational system of USA fighters and ships practically useless. That is why Russia and walked into Crimea and all USA can do is to make some noise. Better learn to live in a multi polar world. USA can no longer tell others what to do if they do not like to do it.
