“After crap like this...why should our side play nice?

Well nice guys finish last and we have been finishing last consistently for the last 100 years.....”


Though, let’s not lose sight of the fact that if it weren’t FOR the “nice guy’, America would not have made it THIS far.

As imperative as it is to understand HOW an adversary operates...it is AS imperative that we NOT emulate the same tactics/behavior AS the adversary....and expect to WIN. It’s a poor strategy to use in a battle that MUST be won by the “nice guy”.

I sincerely disagree. I trust this man's methods:



There should be at least 30 years before your enemy can fight again. It is too late now for niceties and civilization. That is reality.

I agree! In World War One, it was FOOLISH of us to adopt the use of the machine gun amd the hand grenade! And in World War Two, the use of the Tank, Airplane, and Torpedo was utter folly. After all, our adversary used them, and we should never have sunk to their level.
