US forces frequently feel compelled to call in air strikes or artillery fire

That the way we wage war. I’m sure the Afghan Prez would rather have us use tasers and kid gloves and lose 10,000 troops but that ain’t the way we do it.
We should have someone comment on how many civilians the talis kill every stinking month.
I’ve been reading “No True Glory” about the battle for Fallujah. If that book can be believed, the American military is incredibly careful about not creating collateral damage among the civilians in order to avoid the fallout that it creates.
How often do these same pious Muslim leaders complain about the “innocent” deaths caused by Jihad acts of terror against the civilian population? Why they don't - is that they fear they will be killed for complaining! They KNOW they can spit on us with no ill effect.
When have these same pious sheet heads complained about the Jihadi routine practice of fighting from behind civilian shields or from the interior of their freaking “holy places”....
How can ANYTHING be innocent or holy in country recognized throughout recorded history as a land of backward militant war lords at each others throats?
It's very hard to selectively exterminate only the cockroaches with guns who are firing at you, and avoid injuring the cockroaches whose guns are still hidden away for the day they screw up their courage to fight you ..
By now - folks should have figured out that NONE of our current or future enemies will fight the type of war where we can utilize our military superiority..
They will elect to fight the type of war our too civilized society abhors..... the kind of war where MILLIONS die... Most of them “innocent”....
We knew where our enemy was during WWII — they lived in Germany and Japan...
That is precisely why the Islamists PRETEND none of the worlds Muslim nations is the enemy — yet we are asked to believe we are not fighting a war against Islam, but only against “extremists” of the Muslim faith...
ANY reading of the Koran will show that anyone who practices Islam as written and taught in the Koran, is in fact a damned extremist who is charged with our destruction or enslavement....
I'll not be convinced there is any “War against Terror”, until I see entire cities within the womb of the Islamic Republics leveled to a single layer of smoldering rubble...
It was war fighting procedure against the Germans, Japanese - and it SHOULD be suffered by the population areas most “hospitable” to the militant, radical Jihadists....
I'll bet we all could name some areas that would fit that description....
