As much as I hate it, the fact that war is killing has never changed. The only way I know of to win a war is to kill the enemy and anyone that is close to the enemy. Civilian casualties are part of war. Let it be known that we are coming and we are coming shooting and if you don't want to get your ass shot get out. Then do what we say we are going to do. One shot from a house gets the whole house blown up and everyone in it. Yes, innocent people will be killed but soon the innocent will learn to fight with us or get the hell out of the way. And when we kill enough of the enemy they will quit.
:agree:
That would seem the sane way to wage war.
Your either for us or against us. There is no middle ground.

The link above is to pictures and stories of war. If you have a weak stomach don't click on this link. The pictures and stories are graphic.
I might have missed your point there Tumbleweed. If it was that war is not pretty, than I would agree. Go check out pictures of what was left of the twin towers after they came down. That was an act of war. they declared it.
People die all the time and people kill people all the time. Most of the time for pretty sorry reasons.
Read the bible. There was lots of wars and killings going on in the old testament. What they did to Jesus wasn't pretty.
Sometime you get to choose to die for a good reason. Sometimes you don't. In the end, we will all die.
If we are going to wage war, than go in with the attitude that we need to win and the way to win is to kill the enemy and if you ain't an ally than you are an enemy. Sadly, there are no non-combatents in a war zone. Innocents? Yes, but the innocent die all the time, every day.
Showing me pictures of dead and wounded people will not change my mind.
If our forefathers were afraid to fight battles we would either be under the thumb of England, Germany or Japan today. If we don't do something today, right now, we will be under the thumb of the Jihadist Muslems.
Don't even ask, if they come I'll fight. i would go over there if they would let me.
I had a son over there in that sand box, a neice and at least one nephew. They would all willingly go back. And may.
If you don't believe in this war or any war, just say so, don't beat around the bushes.
You are certainly welcome to your opinion.
I hate the fact that we need to be over there or that we have to fight any battles or wars, but you can only turn the other cheek so many times and run so far, then you have to fight or die. You of all people should know this.
If I misunderstood your posting, I apologies. I been kind'a cranky here lately. :wink:
