This old vet is exactly right. This war against radical terrorist will never end as long as it's not all out war, killing every thing in sight. When was the last time that happened? WW2.

"Every soldier thinks something of the moral aspects of what he is doing. But all war is immoral and if you let that bother you, you're not a good soldier."

what would Curtis LeMay do?

[wastoute]

Exactly so. Once you kill everyone with a perverted ideology, you have defeated that ideology.

True words

NAZIism was also an ideology

War is cruelty. There is no use trying to reform it; the crueler it is, the sooner it will be over.

I remember reading of Guadalcanal. The marines found some of their own guys who had been mutilated by the Japs. After they saw that, they began doing the same, tho I doubt they ever got to the level of brutality of the Japs.

Only about 9% of Germans were dedicated Nazis or members of the Nazi Party. But after the war, the whole population went through de-nazification.

Some say only 10% of Muslims are radical Islamists so we have no worries.

I believe old Curtis said “...bomb them back to the stone age....” I believe he was talking about the North Vietnamese at that time....but I would think he meant just about any of our enemies during his service...

Start with biking Mecca, putting a dead or alive bounty on every Islamic terrorist.

the level of brutality of the Japs.

Actually, after seeing what the Japs did, their brutality did match the level of the Japs.

Read Stud Terkel’s “The Good War”. Good Ol’ Boys who were driven to barbarity by the example set by the Nips.

When you are facing an enemy that WILL NOT SURRENDER, you have no recourse.

The Japs were also especially brutal to captured Marines on Iwo Jima.

**men like LeMay burning down their cities killing people by the tens of thousands.**

Not those same exact words, but same idea, I told Mrs Gamecock this just last week. She was mortified. She is slowly getting it though.

I said that on twitter. I was flooded with tweets calling me ignorant and stupid.
