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

I guess he never heard what Vince Lombardi said: "Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing" -- this is especially true when fighting terrorists.

So, indiscriminate bombing, where we don’t care if we’re killing innocents or combatants, is just inconsistent with our values.

Agreed General. However, so-called "carpet bombing" does not equate to "indiscriminate bombing." I would expect military personnel to understand the difference. I would expect more precision in language and thought from a senior officer - particularly one working from prepared comments.

It is entirely possible to set the ROI standards so high you can’t win.

IMHO, this is an active experiment in the war zones.

Kill or be killed.

Imagine if SS battalions hid by dispersing among German civilian areas.

What a homo. And besides, every good doggie knows carpet bombing is the ..... well, the bomb!
Only a General would think otherwise. Also he’s a putz, and insulted all our guys from WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and Desert Storm.

Yeah, ok. We’re supposed to adhere strictly to the Geneva Conventions, which forbids ***targetting*** civilian ***noncombatants*** especially when mostly women and children are present.
Meanwhile, the other side is strapping explosives on women and children.

It sound like he took his hatred of America from Seth McFarlane, the creator of Leftist trash such as Family Guy, the Cleveland Show, and American Dad.

War is cruelty. There is no use trying to reform it. The crueler it is, the sooner it will be over.

The only way to win, short of a giant nuke over the Middle East, is to ban Islam in civilized countries, deport Muslims, bring US troops home and put them on our borders, institute a “pet the pig” requirement to enter a western nation or board a plane. Let the Shia and Sunni kill each other in their own dirt bag countries. Keep Muslims in Muslim countries. Problem largely solved.

Didn’t Cruz say to carpet bomb them, and the media/left took it literally? It is also unAmerican to help the enemy, but that is what the Regime is doing.
