I don't agree with the use of tactics such as 'Double Tap'. Double tap is when a drone makes an initial strike killing and injuring those on the ground, then when people go to help victims of the attack a second attack or double tap is launched killing the rescuers. Not very ethical in IMHO.
EU remains independant city states simply to avoid responsibility for issues in their neighborhood.
The most they ever contribute is a rhetorical statement after an emergency meeting in Brussels.
When the euro was proposed, many complained the next thing they'll want is for us to become the united states of Europe!

But from a tactical standpoint, they are effective. Our enemies have changed from stand-up uniformed armies to those who hide behind the skirts of women and children. So our tactics have changed also. It does't seem to bother terrorists to sacrifice their families and use the ever-expanding and increasingly-present media reporting to make it apparent that innocents are killed when it is they themselves who put innocents in harm's way, then play the PR game when strikes occur. When will the residents of these tribal regions tell the terrorists to get out and not tolerate the danger brought with them? In too many cases, the families and other non-combatants are providing direct support to the fighters by housing and feeding them locally.
If I were to find an infestation of ants, am I going to pick and choose which I eliminate? Or am I going to spray the Raid liberally and eliminate the whole colony?
