“Trying to win the hearts and minds of muslims is endangering our troops. We need to kill more bad guys until they decide it isn’t worth fighting us. Although, they will eventually act up again, and then we need to kill more.”
I’ve been saying this since we screwed up the “peace”in Iraq. We haven’t killed anywhere near enough of these people. Japan and Germany were destroyed after WW2 - they knew they were defeated and didn’t fight us any more. That’s when we knew HOW to win a war......
I say Burn ‘em............
Winning Hearts and Minds, didn’t work out too well in Vietnam.
