“Our soldiers fight on equal terms”

You know nothing of our military or doctrine. The entire point is to be as unequal as possible, to utterly overwhelm the enemy.

No, I actually made a typo - writing "equal" when I meant "unequal."

The entire point is to be as unequal as possible, to utterly overwhelm the enemy.

Now you are shifting the terms of the debate.

Our soldiers fight, like our law enforcement operates, on unequal procedural terms that advantage the enemy.

Our armed forces punctiliously observe the laws of war, while our enemies completely disregard them.
