Has there been a war as pointless as this in the last 50 years?

Probably as pointless as MGSV TPP which featured said war.

At least from the US perspective it's gotta be WWI

Objectively, not from a perspective. Imagine yourself an alien looking at the planet.

Really good Russian/Ukrainian film called "9th Company" you should check out.

Russian "Full Metal Jacket." Fucking great combat scenes, too.

what do you mean pointless?
cia made alot of mony to replenish their black ops bank account

>Honduras loses football match to El Salvador
>Start killing and maiming the El Salvadorians that work/live in your country

>Peace talks signed
>tfw two states went to war over a footy match

Pointless for the soldiers. Waste of men and lives.

>9th Company
yesss...
it watches like reading personal letters back home, a personel notebook, sometimes that movie makes you like you're there yourself...
a tank is not only a pew pew thing.. sometimes it's an intorregation tool ^^

Really is one of my favorite war movies.

Trying to prop up a puppet state and secularize mountain goat herders seems like a good war to me. Too bad they failed.

well not completely wasted, their boddybags where usefull too for opiate smuggle, i bet diamonds and other rocks they found in the mountains too..
i saw a doku some years ago revealing boring plans for the soil, apparantly the russians found a plenty amount of oil, gas gold and rocks overthere, kept secret, sometimes found in hidden places or old miningsites.

>in the last 50 years
>WWI
American education strikes again.

now that's big leage hooliganism :D

there was one about bat poop aswell
Saltpetre War or war of the pacific, about taxes and bat poop lol
i think it was 1880 or something between Chile and Bolivia
ah.. history

I blame the eternal American

US in Afghanistan. Good men died to protect opium fields.

>Soviets see the danger in Islamism way before the West, try to enforce Secularism in Islamic majority countries
Hardly pointless, it was drawn out greatly by the US, Saudis and Pakis support for the Afghani morons.

The Russia v Georgia war in I think ‘05 or ‘06

america's war on obesity

Nah, we had a brief window from like late 2001 to 2003. We had the 82nd parachute in, and we had Osama cornered in Tora Bora or whatever, and had the perfect chance to kill all of the assholes who needed killing, install a warlord that was amenable to us, and then fucking LEAVE. It could've been a short, good war and a victory. We just set our bar too high. Feels bad, man. :(

USA intervention in Somali Civil War and importation of Somalis to USA
- Somali National Alliance (SNA) strategic victory
- USA saved 100 000 Somalis to give 7-8 children to export to the entire world specially Minnesota (USA) and Sweden

U.S. withdrawal on 3 March 1994
U.N. withdrawal on 28 March 1995

F

It wasn't pointless for Soviets. If they took Afghanistan, they would get to India. Commies in India were pretty strong at that time.

yes the iraq war idiot

Good movie, remember Snow White?

fucking gold cunt

>Pointless for the soldiers. Waste of men and lives.
and the war that wasn't?

Hehe oh yeah. I glossed over that part

Yeah this is probably on par

What was the point of intervention in Libya? To fuck over Europe forever?

I guess that still counts as some kind of point.

Funny and disturbing character.

Long term, the Soviet occupation was a waste of time and the US dumbfucked it's way into arming terrorists.

At least we got "Cardinal of the Kremlin" out of that quagmire.

And "the Living Daylights"
Dalton was a good bond.

To this day, Dalton is my least favorite Bond. My ex-wife started masturbating to him when we were drunk and watching a bond marathon.

I got cucked by a manlet Bond.

that's fucking hilarious

Check out the film "The Beast of War"
Favorite tank film, has the Muslim guy from the Mummy in it. Only weird thing is that its American actors playing Soviets and none attempt to have an accent.

Sometimes... Accents can confuse a film.

Why did the most powerful land army in the world lose to rock farmers?

Didn't you lose the emu war?

Same reason the World's most powerful military that can shoot a missile up a camel's ass from 3,000 miles on a drone did: Afghanistan and Finland simply cannot be conquered.

He's 6' 2"

good banter m8, too bad americans cant take the piss

Why cant we just let people be fat, if they die because of their fatass habits it shouldn't be considered an epidemic since this is from their self actions
