I know it sounds brutal and it is, but that is what war is; brutal and cold destruction of life and property. It works!!!

The first Gulf War was not a success. I partcipated. I helped boot Saddam out of Kuwait. They got their country back, but it didn't solve the problem. Now we are back and have done the same precision work but are occupying the country. We have yet to show these people that this isn't a game.

How I wish we never had to face things are brutal as war. But if we don't face it, we will be wiped from this planet. So, if we have to do it, do it with an iron fist and beg God for forgiveness when we are done.

I was a little American kid when the American Army of occupation was running Japan in the 1950s. The Japanese were thoroughly and completely whipped and there was no question who was in charge. Anything less will not work.
