“missiles, as well as satellites, and special ops?”

And honestly, special ops is cool, but we don’t need more of it. Spec ops is largely a result of the pussification of the American military.
In the 1940s we wouldn’t have had spec ops all over the middle east and Afghanistan. ISIS wouldn’t be meeting Delta and Seals. Blackhawk down wouldn’t have been lonely rangers.

When we had balls as a nation, ISIS would meet a Marine division, or an Army Armored division. Anyone remember the Highway of death in Desert Storm? We used to hit enemies with bone crushing raw power. We inspired fear and respect.
The Air Force could have dealt with ISIS like the Stukas over Dunkirk. An enemy like them could be child’s play.

But because of no resolve, we misuse spec ops mostly because we are sneaky now, and ashamed of our national goals.
This garbage wont end until the middle east is crushed like Germany and Japan were. And Islam has to be treated like Nazism is in Germany today. Utterly eradicated.

The Desert Storm highway of death is a bad example because it’s well known that the images scared Colin Powell so badly that he convinced Bush to end the ground war, incomplete, at 100 hours. Giving the remaining Iraqi Army in Kuwait an open door to heading home unmolested.
