Ground troops kicking @$$ is the only way to get the attention, respect, and fear of the bad guys in this world. Abso-freakin'-lutely. The Taliban made a bad assumption. They figured that they could ride-out the air raids and be safe because the US would not risk casualties by putting ground forces into harm's way. Wrong!! Our ground forces right now are punishing the Taliban through the use of maximum surprise and shock force, which is the way it ought to be.

The Rangers may have lost their black berets, but they have not lost their prowess!

"You are condemned. Did you know that? The instant the terrorists you support took over our planes, you sentenced yourself to death."
"All your base are belong to us!"

"The Taliban made a bad assumption. They figured that they could ride-out the air raids and be safe because the US would not risk casualties by putting ground forces into harm's way." Every so many years someone comes along convinced that America won't follow through to punish them.
Yet we've never backed down. In our entire history, America has never once said "Oh, we won't go to war over that."
The lesson will be repeated throughout all of time as often as is necessary, however. America will go to war. America will punish you, and America will win anytime we really want to win.

That would be hilarious if they added that the the PsyOps message! They basically said this already...
You are on the way to destruction! You have no chance to survive, make your time!

The The? Hey where is that band now anyhow?
To: Southack
Yet we've never backed down. In our entire history, America has never once said "Oh, we won't go to war over that." Unfortunately, we did just that.
We bailed out of Viet Nam in the face of political pressure from the leftists, leaving our former allies to be slaughtered. When the NVA and VC violated the terms of the fig-leaf "peace" accord they had signed, we did nothing.
America has had some successful military campaigns since then, but we have yet to demonstrate that we can maintain our resolve over time while enduring significant casualties.

Wouldn't it be cool if the voice that they used to broadcast our messages to the Taliban was that of James Earl Jones...using his best (& deepest) Darth Vader????? Someone should suggest that to Rumsfeld!

I'll bet old dad left his K rifle and his dirty diaper in the same place. Anyone who wants to feed these rats is crazy. They will sack Pakistan and send martyrs back across the border in swarms. The Pashtun have accomplished less than any people on this planet. They are a nomadic culture destroying race. The Taliban version of Islam is their tribal code of ethics. These people are genetic pirates and drug dealers. The fact that we are arming and training them is insane. We should have saturation bombed the northern Taliban positions thus allowing the Alliance to break through and put them to the knife.
