Trump _hitting back_ always strikes his enemies as “disproportionate.”

In WAR there is no substitute for VICTORY! Douglas MacA!

The United States Marine Corps follows this doctrine implicitly. Shoot at Marines with an AK 47 and you’ll get anything form an M1 tank round, an 81mm mortar round, a 155mm howitzer round or a JDAM from a Marine Air F-18 down on you.

The premise of this article is dead on. "Proportionate retaliation" encourages a cycle of violence by letting the enemy calculate exactly how much they're willing to endure, and attacking you accordingly.

By definition, disproportionate retaliation isn't cyclical.

President Trump was interviewed by Rush Limbaugh today. In reference to Iran, Rush told him, quote, "I don’t think that they are accustomed to a president like you, sir."

Limbaugh wins understatement of the year!

Disproportionate retaliation is a logical response to asymmetric attacks.

It’s the only thing they understand.

What's disproportionate? They killed one American, we killed two Iranians.

I just realized the true callousness of Pelosi's "proportionate" remark.

In her mind, Iran killed a contractor, an "ordinary" person.

President Trump killed a "revered" general, an elite like Pelosi.

To Pelosi, it was disproportionate for Trump to trade a contractor for a general, or an ordinary for an elite.

Pelosi, who is third in line to be President, believes that we should have targeted an Iranian grunt militiaman, not their second in command.

That's her definition of "disproportionate."

CNN, like Pelosi, must think that the death of a contractor is collateral damage, but the death of the general who sanctioned it is murder.

Disproportionate retaliation is what Trump learned from the Russian.
It always works.

War is not a sum zero +1 game.

You try and car jack me and I shoot you....I don’t try and car jack you back just to be “proportionate”.

I just remembered that when Obie took office the Army did away with its “Overwhelming Force” mantra.

The proper meaning of “disproportionate” is “excessive”. The Left defines “disproportionate” as what normal people would call “effective”. They apply it to a country that they hate, when it’s winning.

Trump, the counterpuncher, has often said if you hit him he will hit you back five times as hard, which of course he does.

Now he has become our nation’s counterpuncher, applying the same strategy to dealing with our enemies.

So “disproportionate retaliation” is definitely a good name for it.

Bet the ragheads don’t attack an American embassy for quite some time. Arabs have a much longer memory than American libs.
