Agreed, the first Gulf War wasn't as ugly as Viet Nam, but it wasn't a total turkey shoot either. I lost 3 friends there (shot down), another one shot down and taken POW, and one ground-pounder buddy who lost a leg below the knee. Thank God I was luckier than they were. I know you Viet Nam guys had it a hell of a lot worse than we did. My hat will always be off to you. No war is clean. However, the current situation still justifies action irregardless of the potential losses. The cost of inaction will be much greater than the losses we will have through inaction. EMP + tactical nukes.

You said it soldier.

"EMP + tactical nukes."

I have a hunch we're going to see some new technology fairly soon.
