I used to be proud of my dad for having fought in Korea in 1951. He was at the Chosin Reservoir -30* below zero when the Chinese attacked. Chesty Puller and all those other Marines could not paint a better picture than "we're advancing to the rear."

Those Marines got Dunkirked'

The Chinese beat the shit out of us in 1951. Now who wants to defend Tiawan?

The thing is, Taiwan is an island. China is 100 miles away. We have a Navy that is more powerful than all the other navies in the world combined. Could they send rockets and cruise missiles and shells at Taiwan? Sure. But in order to win a war, you have to put boots on the ground and hold the territory eventually. They'd have to do an amphibious invasion that would make D-Day look like a day at the park, and China just isn't equipped to do that and take on our Navy at the same time. China does not want to directly engage the US.
