re: #253 Dark_Falcon

What I think FC is referring to is how the USA always has to bear a disproportionate share of the burden of actually fighting. …

I don’t believe that is true, at all. If one looks at all the UN directed interventions around the world right now the US has contributed no direct military forces, while large nations like India contribute many.

What you’re referring to, I think, are those actions which the US wanted and then the US gets the UN to “go along”, in other words, not object to, the actions taken by the US - e.g., Iraq, Afhanistan.
