You thought wrong.Not saying anyone should. Unlike leftists, I don't believe my opinion is worth any more than anyone else's, except for areas I have direct knowledge, training, and experience. If you want to discuss the relative merits of the BAK-12 versus the BAK-13 aircraft arresting systems, I'd expect you to pay attention to what I had to say, because I have training and experience with both. If you don't have any experience, don't think your opinion is more valid than mine.And anyone should believe you why? since you brought it up.
Yes. So?BTW was Falluja where we also used White Phosphorous?
I thought willieP was banned in civilian areas?
White phosphorus is not banned by any treaty to which the United States is a signatory. Smokes and obscurants comprise a category of materials that are not used militarily as direct chemical agents. The United States retains its ability to employ incendiaries to hold high-priority military targets at risk in a manner consistent with the principle of proportionality that governs the use of all weapons under existing law. The use of white phosphorus or fuel air explosives are not prohibited or restricted by Protocol III of the Certain Conventional Weapons Convention (CCWC), the Convention on Prohibitions or Restrictions on the Use of Certain Conventional Weapons which may be Deemed to be Excessively Injurious or to have Indiscriminate Effects, which regulates the use of "any weapon or munition which is primarily designed to set fire to objects or to cause burn injury to persons . . ."
Nope. Are you familiar with the concept of warfare? Kill people and break their stuff? Can't exactly do that with kittens, can you?Have you seen firsthand what white phoshphorous does?
