FID/UW - two sides of the same COIN - so to say.
If you know that he knows that you know that he knows.........
No matter what side of the table you are standing on - you are still looking at the same map.
I don’t get his point, what is new about this?
Go in. Kill everybody that needs killing. Leave.
Repeat as often as necessary.
Let the locals take care of their own problems. don’t try to solve them. don’t import the,
Do what George Crook did with the Apaches. Use mules, whatever. Get the load the troops carry light. And then chase ‘em ‘til they’re dead, or on the reservation.

As a Nam Vet, I'm sick and tired of our Community Agitator using our Warriors as pawns and his ROE's are causing unnecessary casualties.
WORSE yet is our DOD which has become politicized, is now populated by a cadre of JCS who have never served in harms way and those REMF are complicit in pandering to O'Bummer's delusions of grandeur while abandoning those they command.

I think we should explore the idea of taking territory from our enemies and COLONIZE IT PERMANENTLY.
You wanna support a terrorist strike on the USA? We retaliate by taking away part of your country. For example, we take over the enemy’s seaports and police what goes in and out. Maybe we collect tariffs on food and other goods shipped through the port to pay back the cost of conquering them.
Oh, they don’t like that and attack our colony? We retaliate and EXPAND OUR COLONY.
Genghis Khan would have understood.
