Americans have no taste for killing ...

Dresden. Berlin. Cologne. Hamburg. The Tokyo Fire Raids. Hiroshima. Nagasaki.

When pushed far enough, Americans can kill into the 5 or 6-figures in a single day.

I stand by my statement ... and look at the article. Vietnam. Everything else you mentioned was pre-television era. The TV images made America turn against Vietnam.

The Islamists problem is that Americans, in general, are far more efficient at killing and everything else, than they are.

They've been at war with us for about 10 years. We just noticed a month ago.

Has anybody noticed that their suicide bombings, if effective, fit the classic definition of a "wasting asset?" They use up their efficient fighters, leaving the less efficient to carry on. Hopefully, they lost their 19 most efficient a month ago.
