No, it won't. There are many enormous differences between us and the forces of evil, the Nazis, in particular.
We invaded France in 1944, along with the Brits and Canadians, to liberate it from Nazis. We remained as part of an alliance to keep it free from the military threat of the Russians. But when France decided that it did not need us any more, 20 years later, without drama, we picked up many tens of thousands of troops and all their equipment and promptly left.
When we round up thousands of Afgans and transport them for slave labor in a distant country, I'll agree with you. When we work them to death and then harvest their hair and precious metal tooth fillings, then I'll agree with you.
When the day comes that we round up ten guys off the street and execute them in public in reply to the killing of an American soldier, I'll agree with you. Till then you're letting your opinions and passions run away with you and they have lead you to unsupportable hyperbole. I admire your passion. But you are wrong on this record.
