Blah blah blah word salad.

Silly. Do you want attacks to stop or not? Effing morons.

Attacks on enemies, if they become necessary, should NEVER be “proportionate”. Employing such a measured response simply invites more violence, attacks and death.

Agreed. In fact, worrying about proportionate responses and civilian casualties is a big part of the reason why the United States has never decisively(key word) won a war since basically after WWII.
We won WWII by leveling Dresden and nuking southern Japan into oblivion. Period.

“Were Proportionate”
And that’s the problem. Weakness invites aggression.

Perhaps politically scripted to differentiate this ‘proportionate' retaliation from that of Israel actually responding decisively against a recalcitrant, intransigent Muslim foe seeking the utter destruction of Jews from their ancient homeland.

When did this proportionate nonsense start?
And by whom?
Seems to be a recipe to lose.
To: ChicagoConservative27
WTF is all this about “proportional”? Leftist BS.

They should be swift and overwhelming ... but try to tell that to the incompetent lardass in charge.

Do not take out the SAM sites because they might be operated by Russian technicians... so uttered McNamara resulting U.S. acft and airman casualties, and a “proportionate number” of crewmen taken prisoner.
That’s treasonous!

Proportionate... There’s the F’n problem. Complete annihilation ends retaliation and further attacks.

Totally agree.
While we are at it, why exactly do we still have US troops in Iraq and Syria?
To: RatRipper
What’s with this “proportionate” BS???
If you are going to attack someone in response to them attacking you, then YOU UTTERLY DESTROY THEM!!! You hit them so damned hard that their ancestors feel it!!!
“Proportionate” is the pansy assed sissy trans way of conducting war. Oops, I forgot the Pentagram’s General Staff is full of Woke, Trans, Racist Pansy Assed Sissies.

In other words, you’re too scared to actually fight back.
The strikes should have been overwhelming!
To: lee martell
Yes.
I would suggest “Lake Iran” would be the appropriate response, and the end of a whole bunch of problems.

Too many on FR want to believe that it started wth Obama, or maybe with Clinton.
Fact is, the rot was well entrenched decades before that.

What happened to “overwhelming force”. That is an expression I saw disappearing from AFN shortly after Obama was elected…
