In every conflict we have had since Viet Nam, we hear the constant drone of "collateral damage". During war, collateral damage is not such a bad thing and could help eliminate the next generation of fighters that grow up to "kill for mom and dad". I don't see a 12 year old as a child, but a future recruit, and women as a breathing vagina's for the very guys we are trying to kill.
Our insanity comes from the belief that we are fighting a strict sect of individuals that have taken up arms against good people. We are fighting a country or belief system.
My father knew that the bombs he dropped from his B-24 were hitting schools and hospitals and private homes, but rested assured that he was shortening the war by killing the willpower of the Germans to keep up the slaughter. He also knew that if he bailed out, he would be facing 60 yo grandmothers with butcher knives and 12 yo children with pitchforks. War is more than killing the enemy, but killing the will of the people to continue the insanity. When there is no food, open sewers, disease, and especially no shelter, the "innocents" will stop sending their children to the cause sooner or later.
This is the wisdom Cruz showed when he made his "carpet bombing" comment. Liberals had a sphincter spasm and started crying, "War Crimes"!, but had no solution for what is headed our way. The reason we bombed Hiroshima was to save American soldiers, not to murder innocents. "Google" pics of Berlin and Hiroshima after the war and notice there were no cry's of "War Crimes' then. My father received the DFC with 4 oak leaf clusters for his efforts. It's the same in the ME. The reason people quit fighting is they tire of losing. Even the moron with a 70 IQ will recognize they are losing when their house is rubble and everyone they love is splattered on the pavement. Killing a few key people may even get them to turn their weapons on their leaders to shorten the war. The Germans were trying to kill Hitler towards the end, even though they attended rally's and saluted just months before.
We could end this in literally months if we just resolved to win. Think of the American soldiers, Christians, and allies that would be saved if we just cut the TIME short, but increased the killing. I know exactly what this guy and his family is saying in his mind as these photo's were taken. He is asking, where is the cavalry? Why doesn't someone come to my aid? Where are the Christians that preach peace and righteousness?
When we resolve as a nation that we cannot share the planet with these murderers, we know we have the weapons and skills to end this, we just lack the will to do it.
Once the smoke clears, and our power is shown, the next Satanic bastid that raises his head will not be able to convince his "believers" that God is on our side if he says we must defeat America. Ask yourself why almost no one pokes Putin in the eye? They know what's coming if they do.
