"successfull carpet bombing of Hanoi & HArbor (Linebacker II) won the war."

I disagree that it was "carpet bombing." That's left-wing propaganda. It was aimed at military targets. We destroyed the air defense system of North Vietnam in Linebacker II. My proposition is that U.S. forces have historically followed the rules of war and should continue to do so.

The bombs from b52 just were not that accurate. It took many bombs to take out a bridge for example. The capability just did not exist.

Toyko was fire bombed and more were killed than hiroshima, which wasn't a cake walk either.

Okinowa (sp) was also napalmed. Seen the footage?

We have an overly sanitized world view.



And now an admission. You do have a point in that I thought that Unfit made ROE a little too 'clean' and Brady Bunch-like.

That pushed credibility a little with me. Of course, hearing Gardner for hours on the radio and the summation of accounts killed Kerry's accountability.
