One plane. One bomb.
I don't understand why are best marines are being killed by a bunch of smelly terrorists - we have the best army, the best planes, and the best weapons - there should be no marines being killed. I still think they should vgo in there and kick major butt.
Yes, why don't we do that? We have given the warning to civilians in the area, if anyone stays, there can only be one reason for it.
"Why in the hell are we worried about a bunch of buildings?
Just blow the place to the ground and be done with it."
It doesn't work that way. You have to get in there and root them out. For historical perspective see: STALINGRAD
The Marines I know are up to the task...
