We should have decimated every nook and cranny where the 9/11 terrorists hailed from following that day.
we havent fought a war to win since WWII and it shows.
to hell with surgical strikes, bring back dumb bomb, carpet bombing.
So true. Great thread.
Concur. The only way you really win a war is to exhaust the enemy and break his will. Who decides when a war is over? The vanquished—for he has to know that he has lost. Surgical strikes may hurt the enemy, but will also convince him that the opponent isn’t willing to do what is necessary to win. Ultimately, this just emboldens and strengthens the enemy.
There are very few, if any, examples of conflicts being settled before one side is broken.
“We should have decimated every nook and cranny where the 9/11 terrorists hailed from following that day”.
So true and I think the same way. Had it been me, there would have been plenty of parking lots in the ME.
