You think directly targeting and killing innocent people, with no military purpose, is OK? You are no better than ISIS.

We stopped using WW2 rules of engagement after 1945. The US has not definitively won a war since then.

I've heard it said that a war often doesn't end until the enemy leadership has their wives and daughters crying to them, to please make it stop.

WWI was negotiated peace.

From this lesson, WWII was unconditional surrender from the get go. The interim of peace is longer with unconditional surrender?

"The US has not definitively won a war since then."

Not true. The US unequivocally won the second go round with Iraq. We marched right into Baghdad and killed Hussein's sons and eventually Saddam.

However, as usual we gave it back and have dealt with their tribal crap since. We should have claimed it as US territory such as: American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and assigned district native governors under the absolute authority of US government.

We also won the small Grenada war, which could be called a rescue mission by some.
