Targeting civilians is never moral.

And you are talking about murdering people to get at a group of terrorists that did not (at the time) attack the US.
Could we have won WW2 without doing it?
We were losing in Germany. Our planes were being wholesale lost. Then we started doing like Britain, running at night and dessimating the civilian population. It turned the war. Quickly.

Gods battle plans always included civilian populations.

You don’t want to deal with the Capitol insurrectionists?
First off it was not an insurrection.
A Federal judge is in process of reducing all charges to misdemeanors.

Second, it was not a war. It was a riot.

Thirdly, I honestly don't care if they try them for treason and execute them.

Lol I’m just talking about projecting our image to the world. Reducing insurrection to a misdemeanor seems awfully weak doesn’t it. The Russians wouldn’t approve. :Wink

It's not insurrection.
I honestly don't care what they do with those nut cases.

With Afghanistan it would be just murder.

The reason we were there was political (the DNC wanted their "Iraq" - at the time they needed a show if strength for political purposes).

So President Obama pushed the focus on Afghanistan - which is a clue maybe it would not work out well.


BTW....you'd follow the DNC to war but don't trust the government when it comes to vaccinations? :Whistling

War is war. Different set of rules .
Anyone want to deal with our intentional waging of war against civilians in WWII, the last war we won.
Pay close attention to the bombing campaigns in the Berlin area. Civilians targeted in areas with no military value. At first, U S. Objected and Britain did it alone. When we saw how well it worked, we jumped in with all bombers blazing.
Yes because the Nazi government ignored the Geneva convention as well as basic humanitarian rights by bombing London… then all bets were off.

Its not The 1940’s anymore.

Let’s really send a message to the world. Let’s line up all the Capitol insurrectionists and have them shot. Ya know, really send a message right.
Nope… but we should have had guards set up parameters and shot whom ever crossed the line.

I still seem to remember Bush starting Afghan war.

I don't trust the govt about the vaxes. I am not seeing anyone remotely healthy die of Covid.

I say war is war, fight to win. I am addressing the high morality some on here think is supposed to be used in war.

I’m a student of war … and a participant in past life. You fight to win and you plan to win, but killing innocent civilians is not, or shouldn’t be part of the equation. With reference to Germany they used B2 bombs and carpet bombing raids on Briton so the UK retaliated. With Japan, they were a very militant militaristic country that was prepared to fight and die to the man in order to have victory. To beat them we had to broadcast that we were serious… they would be stopped by anyway necessary. But remember the Japanese were the aggressors, not us. They dictated the tactics ( nuclear bombings ) by their choices of warfare… not us.

We carpet and incendiary bombed German civilian centers to break their will to fight. That is pretty well documented.
