With Japan even though there were generals like Tojo and the like. The emperor was a god to the common people so when he actually addressed his people in his radio address stopping the war with America. The people obeyed unquestioningly. This is just something that isn't possible with our current fight with ISIS, al-qaeda, or whoever else.
We've seen this play out over and over and over. How many of their #1 guys have we taken out?
A question that's been asked over and over but can never be answered. I'd love to know what our world would be like if we hadn't been involved in one war after the other in the Middle East.
Think of how we'd react if another country was occupying our land with military bases and killing our citizens. We'd be pretty POd. And you can bet most all of us who have arms would take them up and fight the invaders. Then the occupying forces would be calling us terrorists and we'd love it.
We'll never know what it could be like if we attempted to sign a truce of if we just ended military intervention. We can't do either because this thing is far more complex than most of us can imagine. We want a world living in peace but it never happen as long as the masses aren't willing to die for it. And that means revolting against the psycho leaders and the military they control. That's a tall order.
I voted against the psycho leaders when I supported Sanders.
We didn't mean business in N. Korea? Vietnam? etc.......yours is a convenient "We lost because we didn't try" excuse. Bull. We lost because we were fighting people who refused to give up no matter what because what alternative did they have?
So far there seems to be no civilian deaths. 36 ISIS fighters were reported killed. The target was ISIS tunnels, a military only objective. Clearing these out with troops, and collapsing them individually would have taken a long time and cost lives of U.S. or allied troops.
If you are going to have a war, the exist strategy should be victory, and use of bombs is required in the 21st century. Avoiding as many civilian casualties as possible is mandatory.
Did you ever post negatively about the 100's of thousands of bombs Obama dropped and the hundreds of thousands killed by Obama?
They could be 12 year old kids and we would say they were ISIS fighter.
We have no clue what is going on over there. Remember the B.S. we were fed about Jessica Lynch and Pat Tillman?
