Since when is it "rational" to take out an enemy combat force, THEN take out the logistics train?
No where in any rational battle plan does it recommend that you attack in a way that encourages others to join the enemy against us.
If your attack encourages others to join the enemy, you didn't attack correctly.
What makes you so sure you're being misunderstood? I think we all know it's perfectly rational to run the other way when you see a dangerous enemy.
The war on terrorism was a multifaceted attack, on the terrorists themselves, their training camps and the funding machines found here in the US and in other countries. It is LOGICAL to go after the logistics as well as the enemy!
