Your Country's Greatest Foe

hmmm Ok its finally sinking in. Attack has many meanings and one common usage is for inflammatory or derogatory speech.  I think we can clarify by saying you want to hear who we think our countries greatest military foe is. is that about right?  Honestly our greatest foes are always the politicians and philosophers who incite minds against us. The men of action never mean as much in the grand scheme.

 I'm no war buff so I have no great insights here. I'm sure there's many names and many subtleties I won't know about. When I think of such things However I always think of Rommel. He was really kicking our asses in the desert until we broke his supply line and ran his war engine out of fuel. I think with a steady supply he would have out maneuvered us in that theatre of war.

Leading a military attack against the USA or aiding the enemy in war time? Good luck with that. Undermining the moral fabric of the society from the inside? Far more destructive.

We discuss the latter all the time. 

Notice for the last damn time I didn't say the attack had to be against the US.  It could be against a US army somewhere else.

Please read carefully, or else YOU may be the greatest enemy we have.

Probably the Iroquois War Chiefs who attacked us during the French and Indian Wars and Pontiac's rebellion, causing terror in the colonies.

That is just a smart ass answer. I would actually say the most deadly enemy of the Untied States was Khrushchev in 1963. He wasn't really, but in terms of perception and power to make that perception count.

Probably some president. I'm not sure which one.

America's greatest living foe is probably Roger Ailes.

Vidkun Quisling, he sold his country to the invading German army, to become the primeminister, (he only become a puppet for the stationed German officer Josef Terboven

yeah he have said some shocking things recently

William the Conquerer

The French had been at war with ALL its neighbours (including the Swiss!), but if we're talking about attackers...
 - the Vikings, which pillaged and ravaged the whole West coast before claiming and taking the Normandy;
 
- the Saracens, which pillaged the South coast, but were courteous enough not to claim or take a region;

 - the English... From the Middle Age to the 19th, from the Plantagenets to Queen Victoria, there had been countless battles, wars, colonial competitions... Joan of Arc, the Seven Years War, the Fachoda incident... We could make a whole library just with these issues!

 - Bismarck and Kaiser Willhem the First. And I know what I'm talking about: I have some Alsatians ancestors who fleed from their native region just to remain French citizens.
Then, Willhem the Second, who thought he could match his father and his Prime minister (but no one could match Bismarck).
Then, Adolf Hitler - but he had been the enemy of half Europe (Poland, Yugoslavia, Russia, Netherlands, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, etc...)

 - Mickey Mouse. f**k this rodent, the pinguin from Zig and Puce was much more cuter.

I really wasn't kidding about Roger Ailes. Do people here know who he is? He has done some serious f**king damage to America over the years.
