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."

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

**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.

These worthless snowflakes in charge of our DOD don’t know a damn thing about winning wars.

A PFC WWII vet is worth 10,000 Four-Star politically hand-picked Generals these days.

The wuss is right. You can’t bomb an ideology.
But you can destroy people’s faith in it. You can hammer them until it no longer sustains them. You can destroy everything until its adherents forget it in the day to day struggle for survival. You can reveal its ultimate impotence and corruption, as the leadership provides for itself while selling out the followers.
Unfortunately, in today’s military, that would be considered a war crime and/or a crime against humanity.

The vet’s wrong.

You CAN’T bomb an ideology.

You can only kill the people who hold to that ideology - and that’s a vastly different thing.
