Nope you are the fool for not understanding a thing on how to win wars.

Well, I guess you got me there. Being 18 years in the navy, I admit I was never in combat. I have read a few books though and observed a little in the world. I came to the conclusion that you win wars by beating the enemy down, demanding and getting unconditional surrender terms. It worked pretty well in WW II as well in the Civil War. Funny, the way the United States ran Vietnam and Korea, didn't work out to well. I think when you start handing out the Koran to imprissoned enemies and must handle it with clean, white gloves; whereas I can go to the local book store and buy it with my unwashed hands, than something tells me we ain't winning.

And before you say, what do you want to do, kill them all. Well - yes! I want to beat them down so bad that they have to start thinking that maybe worshipping Allah is not a good thing.

But, as you said before, you already have your mind made up and I suppose I do also. Don't bother replying.

I have to agree with you. God shone favor to King David, and he didn’t always go the way of peace. It’s a dog eat dog world we live in these days, and we just have to show the world our military has honor and courage in the face of all the nastiness. It’s an ugly job and thank God they are brave enough to do it. God bless our military!
