In a 14 day period during 1969 my "platoon' lost ten guys...In a four months period..my company lost 15 -30 WIAs/KIAs per month on average...

For a War wide casualty report this isnt too bad...(of course if your loved one is one of those its disasterous and heartbreaking)

As long as we stomp them every time they raise up to attack...we will prevail..

It will take time and to do it right...as to not incite those not inclined to fight to take up arms with the terrorists
It will also costs more American lives..

The only other course is to kill them all and let God sort them out...which will only polarize all muslims...and we will never have the chance to show them that democracy and freedom is better than Islamo-fascist slavery

Given time..and correct levels of reward and punishment of stepping up the response intensity and then ratcheting it back..we will have a chance to win the hearts and minds..

The down side is...it will cost American lives...
and that is a heavy price to pay...but if we bring freedom to Iraq and it takes...it could spread to other Islamic nations..and then the people will take care of the imams and mullahs themselves...and Islamic terrorism will be dead...and we will have friends in the Middle East...If such a thing is possible...then terrorist attacks will end...

And we wont have to kill them all and let God sort them out ..until HE is rady to...

God bless the combat vets of VN and Iraq and all of our wars. I hope the latter get a better welcome home than you guys did.

BULLSH*T!!

We killed thousands at Hiroshima and Nagasaki...Dresden and Toyko too!

Today, Japan is like a contented tabby cat instead of a wild cougar.
