I think the US has extended PC so far that some people feel the need, during a war, to worry about whether someone will lose face or that collateral damage might occur , or that a civilian might be killed.

It must be kept in mind that most of the world doesn’t have access to the news resources we do, thus most countries populations are highly manipulated. eg. Google agreeing with China to manipulate their site, which they also do here in the US., or CNN as Pravda.

The point is that if you are going to war on someone you bring the house. Not the garden hose, not just the shovel, but everything necessary to WIN unconditionally.

I believe the young men joining the armed forces today should be presented with a “Truth in this Engagement Policy” they should be forced to read and sign that outlines that they are putting their life on the line for a limited objective, not victory. That they will be constrained, even in the heat of battle to ROE’s promulgated to achieve not victory but an often insipid two point takedown for which they might perish.

Since WWII no nuclear weapon has been used in combat. The major powers all fight proxy wars and when irradiating an area is called for such as the NW tribal areas it is dismissed in favor of building another casket by some porcine, overeducated, never seen combat, nomenklatura in DC.

It is no wonder a caustic cauldron bubbles just below the veneer of our own country. The citizens can see the absurdity in many of our military and economic policies.

But don’t worry. The Chief Resident is pushing to silence the Rush Limbaughs and strip the population of guns and ammo…we’ll be much safer then and easier than ever to herd over the cliff. His minions are gathering names as I write this.
