I'm not looking to start an argument. Just for an opinion. Don't you see a basic difference in this war in as much as there was never a surrender and there likely never will be?
Other wars where we have vanquished the foe have ended with their armies laying down their arms at the order of their leaders. This new kind of war confuses me. It seems like we need to crush the opposition until they agree to have us stop crushing them. It's the only way it's been successful in the past.
Almost right.
We need to kill them at a fast enough rate that they run out of people who want to die before new ones grow up.
It isn't that hard, we did a fantastic job of it from 1941-45.
And these are Arabs we're dealing with-not Germans.
The sooner we start killing them, the sooner we'll win.
