Much as I despise his show, Maher has a point here. War from 15,000 feet is rather cowardly, if you think about it.

Tell that to the veterans of the Allied missions over German towns like Schweinfurt during WW2 where many airmen lost their lives. Until late in the war Allied planes had no fighter escorts and had to fly through flak and German fighters. You don't think that didn't take courage? How about the Jimmy Doolittle raiders many who were captured and executed by the Japanese. Read your history please. Bill Maher is a moron. He's a fool also because he doesn't know he's a moron.

No---I don't think it is...especially when the targets KNOW they are targets....dropping a bomb from 10,000 feet is not cowardly either. BUT...............killing civilians, UNSUSPECTING civilians, UNARMED is so cowardly and weak it defies words. Cowardly.....totally cowardly. Faceless, nameless and whimpish to the max.

The cowards are the idiots that write the rules of engagement, they write them that way to avoid the political heat created by body bags returning to the US. We who execute these operations are just upholding our oaths and good faith and allegiance to our country.
