US General Calls 'Carpet Bombing' ISIS Against American Values

ABC News ^ | Feb 1, 2016 | Luis Martinez ·

[Iron Munro]

Once upon a time, American values meant vanquishing your enemies.

[DuncanWaring]

The only innocents in ISIS are the infants who are too young to have yet learned that “Jews are the descendants of dogs and pigs”.

We killed millions of innocents in Europe and Japan 70 years ago; they then became quite peaceful.

[angryoldfatman]

That’s exactly right, carpet-bombing terrorists is against American values.

Values like efficiency, frugality, and know-how. Why waste a bunch of big heavy ordinance when you could get Joe Blow Warplane Industries to start producing A-10s again and use the Warthog Grunt of Death to take out moojies?

An aircraft like that could be churned out like Ford SUVs, take a licking and keep on ticking, and turn entire cloud banks into buzzing metal destruction on fairly precise targets, including gangs of hadjis.

“at the end of the day, you know, it doesn’t only matter whether or not you win, it matters how you win.”

We’re all doomed.

[CapnJack]

I'm curious of what the general will say when, for example, an American city or two is hit with an Iranian made missile with a Pak nuke from some unassuming shipping vessel off the coast with an ISIS crew.

[PhiloBedo]

Add him to the list of things to be done the first week of office for Trump or Cruz. The forced retirement list.

[AFreeBird]

Yup.

[aomagrat]

Our government and military are paralyzed by political correctness.

[Dstorm]

Guess it’s something you would have to experience to understand it’s unique.

[DuncanWaring]

Preferably, retirement at their grade as of 20 Jan 2009.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

We don’t seem to have real generals any more. Just career pansies.

[Blood of Tyrants]

The general would have never made it past Lt. in WWII.

[Shadow44]

I suppose so then. I’ll take your word for it.

[nevergore]

This is why we need to get rid of many of the panty waist Generals and Admirals that are now populating the Pentagon!

This lightweight would have never made it through WWII

[GingisK]

He must be one of those not culled by the White Hut.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Probably need to give the General a can of paint and a brush and he can run around over there painting “Go or No Go” on the people so we know who to bomb!

[Jet Jaguar]

Active Duty ping.

[BuffaloJack]

Wars are won by the side that kills all of the other side.
It’s better to exterminate ISIS than allow them to immigrate here and become the problem that Europe has.

[luvbach1]

Not having inane ROE however, does a world of difference.

Couldn't the rules of engagement in WWII be summed up in the word "win," the rest being up to the generals/admirals?
