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."
The Vet is right. As long as it’s a state.
We are going to go bomb every town that has a mosque?
Yeah. That’s not a good idea.
The sooner we get on with it the sooner it will end.
All war is not immoral according to the ‘Just War’ doctrine of the Catholic Church, which is fully supportive of the views of NKP Vet, which by the way, precisely express my own thoughts as to how this vicious assault on civilized countries will have to be dealt with. And the sooner the better.
Daddy said that after basic training in WWII, they were
“ready to charge Hell with a bucket of water”; and that’s
what they did.
And, as Sherman said, when you have killed a certain critical mass of them they grow fond of peace ...
“Some say only 10% of Muslims are radical Islamists so we
have no worries.”
Dear laplata; here’s a sarcasm tag for you to use free of
charge. \s \s \s \s PLUS SOME EXTRAS.
Bomb’em back into their caves; then NAPALM the cave entries and exits.
If the jellied gas don’t get’em the depleted oxygen will.
Biking Mecca?
That sounds like John Kerry talking!
jk jk
After his first 30 days in office, President Trump calls the Air Force and says, “What do you mean you are out of bombs?” ;-)
Sherman was probably insane but still a decent general.
Check the casualty figures. Twice as many Yankees died as rebels. Is that really what he wanted?
1.1 billion dead; don’t have a problem with it, so long as they are incinerated and don’t require burying.
One other comment: 1 dead is a tragedy, 1.1 billion dead is just a statistic.
Thanks for posting that.
To win in war you must
1. Destroy the enemy
2. Destroy the enemy’s ability to fight
3. Destry the enemies will to fight.
Since this is unconventional war to us in the west, we must destroy the enemy’s WILL to fight by demonstrating beyond a shadow of a dought that their god’s ability to protect them and their way of life (cities/cultural centers) is Non-existent. This was the philosophy of every successful warrior leader in history, it is brutal and savage, but I challenge anyone to explain a nice and polite way to win a war. This is NOT a civic public discourse or a debate, it IS a direct challenge to the BEST way of life on the planet, The American Way of Life as explained in Our Declaration of Independence and Our Constitution.
Freedom Reqires vigilance, diligence, commitment, sacrifice, honor, integrity, and one hell of a stern constitution, otherwise known as GUTS!
Dittos to our WWII vets who showed us the way to win Total War on two fronts against pure evil. Remember, only 3% of the colonials in America won the revolution. The enemy knows this too.
You are more than welcome. I read that particular story in James Bradley’s “Flags of our fathers”. What the Japanese did to that poor Marine is sickening.
LOL
In 1954-1958 my father was stationed in Wiesbaden Germany working at United States Air Force Europe (USAFE) Headquarters. There the US government employed many German nationals, a good number being former military. Later my Dad reported that he never met a German who fought on the Western Front.......They all “naturally” fought on the Eastern Front against the Russians!
History was not lost on the good General.
Nuking Mecca. IPad correction is horrible.
You must destroy pursuit of an ideology, which leads some to believe they are the chosen people, by utterly destroying the faith in it’s tenets. Only at the point of obliteration will these people consider a different path.
