OH MAN, HOW do you doom and gloom types ever get thru any day? Given how EVERYTHING is always a disaster waiting to happen for you guys, I am surprised you even get out of bed!
Spoken like a true chairborne ranger, ready to fight to the last Marine in Iraq from the safety of your Lazyboy recliner, watching it all on TV.
82 Airborne, 11B10, Panama and Gulf War 1. What's your qualifications? Hmmmmm??
Of course I want payback, but on OUR terms, and not on THEIR terms. What they WANT is a "Jenin Massacre" TV spectacular, right between the hospital and the mosque. Tanks driving over children. That's what they WANT. We should play to OUR strength, not theirs, and take a page from the IDF playbook, and use missiles from helos and Predators to take out the targeted individuals
Spoken like a completed armature with NO grasp of how difficult it is separate the terrorists from the innocent in an urban area. We want to BREAK THE BACK of the resistance, not piss around the edges like the Israeli's are doing. Yeah, you are so worried about media relations, what do you do when a missile or bomb mis-targets or misfires and wastes a carload of children like happened in Afghanistan? Sorry but you cannot do this kind of combat on the cheap with just missiles and drones. There is also the Physiological Warfare angle. They Arabs all run around and talk tough because they figure we don't have the guts to take the casualties. So we go in hard and dirty and break both their WILL and their ABILITY to fight. It takes MEN ON THE GROUND who can verify then shoot. Infantry combat is a hell of a lot less indiscriminate then air power. Yeah, we are going to take some casualties. Price of doing business as anyone who has been there will tell you. Deal with it. This IS war no matter what the DNC directed "News" media trys to tell you otherwise

Kind of a nasty way to respect a navy seal...
I don't know any 82nd Airborne men,
who have that kind of attitude towards the seals.
