[Archie Bunker on steroids]

Military genius,

Based on our objective, which is regime change, we don't want to obliterate Iraqi troops, but have them surrender. How much support are we going to get from the Iraqi people if we use MOABs to kill 100K of their fathers, sons, relatives??? Run the Psyops, scare the hell out of them with shock & awe, & get them to capitulate. Once we're in, we're in better shape. We will suffer behind the lines resistance which will kill many Americans, but based on our objective their is no way around it

You're air power to soften things up for the ground troops worked well to move the Iraqis out of Kuwait. Had you recommended these tactics on your War College paper for this war, They'd have laughed you out of Maxwell.

Obviously you didn't learn alot about military ops flying 141s around for 20 years.

Well, I guess I'm just more concerned for my own guys than some towel heads. Thank god you're not in charge or you'd order the guys foward line abreast to prove what humanitarians we are. Attitudes like yours would get you fragged on the front line. By the way, my offer for you to kiss my ass still stands but you'd have to pull your head out of your own ass and anything after that would probably smell like roses.
