As long as the city of Ramadi is standing, you know that we aren't using the level of ruthlessness necessary. that whole freakin' town should be rubble. give me a break.
ask yourself, 'what would patton do?'
that whole freakin' town should be rubble
Patton was a great military mind...and he was a winner...but be careful of what you ask.
Patton, after all, led a majority Protestant army into Rome, climbed the Vatican steps, knelt before the Pope, and kissed the Pope's ring.
Within a short time, Italy switched sides in the war, joining the U.S. to fight against Mussolini's fellow fascists from Germany.
Would you really have an American general today repeat that same hat trick by kneeling before, and then kissing the ring of, the leading religious figure(s) in Iraq?
Are you prepared to accept onto your side tomorrow people who are shooting at you today?
Because that's what Patton brilliantly did with Nazi Germany's ally Italy.
