Muslim Waleed Aly, (w)academic and (token) ABC host, is angry that US soldiers are fighting in ways which makes it impossible for the Taliban to kill them:
[Drones] so radically and fundamentally alter the nature of war that they risk making war seem far less grave, and far easier to wage. Each side confronts the other, with the risk of death and defeat. In short, war should come at a cost. That contract is shredded when youre attacked by something that cannot itself be killed. Its not remotely a fair fight.
A word to Aly. There is no contract of the kind you imagine. The contract a society has is actually with its citizens, not its enemies. That contract is to fight for the societys self-protection using whatever means it has to minimise its own losses and maximise those of its foes. For the US to do anything other is not remotely fair to its citizens and to those it asks to fight for them. It has next to no obligation to be fair to terrorists.
But what we are seeing in the battlefield is not just a clash of technology drones against AK 47s and roadside bombs. It is a clash of cultures, and the weaponry is a product and a measure of each.
Clash of cultures? No. Its not. It is the oldest war in the world. Its our culture and civilisation against the barbarity and savagery of Islam.

It’s not our obligation to be fair, when it’s time to war.
In the not too distant future we will have battle-bots doing all the hard work. This is probably the end God had in mind for Islam and its antiquated beliefs all along.
We’re fair.
They started it, we’re finishing it.
What could be more fair than that?
Yeah, like muslims are the epitome of chivalry and honor.
Perfect example of Muslims using the west to destroy itself. “Fair” as interpreted by liberals applied to the concept of warfare.
The purpose of war is not to die for your country, the purpose of war is to some other silly b^st^rd die for his country.
And the Brits thought it was unfair for the revolutionaries to make long distance shots from cover targeting officers and scouts.
Meh
The blog police will be along any minute now.
!!!!!
Then it’s OK if we plant IEDs in the way of civilians, kidnap civilians and video films of ourselves beheading them, and hijack their transport and crash it imto buildings?
Yup. 1500 years and counting.
something the stoneage goathumpers shoulda thought of before they started the war
Every Islamic capitol should be reduced to an inch of ashes.
There never exist any responsibility or consciousness for personal conduct within the Muslim community."

Kill the enemy till they beg you to stop then you kill them some more just to make sure they get it.
Muzzies boast a LOT about not fearing death —even boast of embracing it.
Why not, then, let them fight something NOT alive in the first place..?
To me that sound like the perfect fight.
They love death?
SHOW US....!
