Quote from a WWII veteran overhearing someone say that `You can't bomb an ideology."
"The hell you can't. Because we did it. These Muslims are no different than the Imperial Japanese. The Japs had their suicide bombers too. And we stopped them. What it takes is the resolve and will to use a level of brutality and violence that your generations can't stomach. And until you can, this shit won't stop. It took us on the beaches with bullets, clearing out caves with flame throwers, and men like LeMay burning down their cities killing people by the tens of thousands. And then it took 2 atom bombs on top of it. But if that was what it took to win we were willing to do it. Until you are willing to do the same...well I hope you enjoy this shit, because it ain't going to stop."
"Every soldier thinks something of the moral aspects of what he is doing. But all war is immoral and if you let that bother you, you're not a good soldier."
“Every soldier thinks something of the moral aspects of what he is doing. But all war is immoral and if you let that bother you, you’re not a good soldier.” ~ General Curtis LeMay
Exactly so. Once you kill everyone with a perverted ideology, you have defeated that ideology.

True words
NAZIism was also an ideology
War is cruelty. There is no use trying to reform it; the crueler it is, the sooner it will be over.
— William Tecumseh Sherman
I remember reading of Guadalcanal. The marines found some of their own guys who had been mutilated by the Japs. After they saw that, they began doing the same, tho I doubt they ever got to the level of brutality of the Japs.
I love this old guy....
Only about 9% of Germans were dedicated Nazis or members of the Nazi Party. But after the war, the whole population went through de-nazification.
Some say only 10% of Muslims are radical Islamists so we have no worries.
I believe old Curtis said “...bomb them back to the stone age....” I believe he was talking about the North Vietnamese at that time....but I would think he meant just about any of our enemies during his service...
Start with biking Mecca, putting a dead or alive bounty on every Islamic terrorist.
the level of brutality of the Japs.
Actually, after seeing what the Japs did, their brutality did match the level of the Japs.
Read Stud Terkel’s “The Good War”. Good Ol’ Boys who were driven to barbarity by the example set by the Nips.
When you are facing an enemy that WILL NOT SURRENDER, you have no recourse.
The Japs were also especially brutal to captured Marines on Iwo Jima.

**men like LeMay burning down their cities killing people by the tens of thousands.**
Not those same exact words, but same idea, I told Mrs Gamecock this just last week. She was mortified. She is slowly getting it though.
I said that on twitter. I was flooded with tweets calling me ignorant and stupid.
