The Muslims will always be able to drum up some reason for jihad. Doing it this way gets the war over with sooner.
“Doing it this way gets the war over with sooner.”
Are you dumb? The Soviets followed the massive bombing strategy in Afghanistan. They were there less than 10 years and lost 15K troops while killing 100,000 mostly civilians. We’ve been there 14 years using precision munitions and have lost less than 4K while killing 40,000 mostly combatants.
Tell me again which strategy is better?
