As usual fighting with both arms (intentionally) tied behind our backs. If you wage an attack do it with full might ...proportionate MEH!

I like this far better: “ You spill a drop of American blood, we will spill a gallon of yours.” President Trump.

I don’t understand this political obsession with “proportional response”.
If someone commits an act of war on you, engage them until they are defeated.

After Pearl Harbor, were we satisfied we just sinking a few Japanese warships?

"Proportionate response" is a strategy for losers.

If we need people to be in a war zone, we must have them use winning strategies and tactics. Some version of "massive overreaction" is what winners do. We could call that "proportional response" if we want to do misdirection propaganda that makes us look all warm and fuzzy. But we should not be all warm and fuzzy.

Otherwise, we should not have people in a war zone.

“Proportionate?”

Who wants a son or daughter over there with this government.

You do not have a proportionate response to the enemy.
You destroy them.
