Revenge is a key aspect of War.................you have to ask?? same with a lot of conflicts all over the world since BEFORE medieval times --revenge IS part of it ....you kill my brother, father, uncle--I'm going to get you backAfter 911.........i'd have hit their asses hard quick and fast.........those that needed a lesson..............and then left before the dust settled.......TOTAL WAR. Something that has been forgotten now
So you're one of those guys that thinks we should carpet bomb the entire Middle East because a group of terrorists killed 3,000 Americans? Total war would come back if the threat were actually existential. The truth, however, is that Middle Eastern terrorism has never been an existential threat, so killing literally everybody might be seen as a cruel overreaction. Oh, and also terrorists are not a uniformed military representing a government. It's an entirely different situation and it's entirely stupid to expect the same approach.
Then I would say don't make me come back.
Would have been over quick.......and not got us stuck there with this PC way to fight war for 18 years now at a cost of 6 Trillion dollars.
War...........is MURDER...........and it's objective is to kill or break the will of the enemy to fight.........
Yeah......I'd have done that.......and we wouldn't have been there longer than 6 months for a fraction of the cost we now paying.
What do you think would have happened if we had just turned the other cheek? Do you think our response actually discourages people crazy enough to fly themselves into buildings? Or was it simply about revenge and feeling like we got even?
....how to you think the the Pals and Israelis think?? you killed our people, we are going to kill yours
..ever read about German aircrew shot down in Britain or American aircrew in Germany?? the people wanted to KILL them--for bombing their people/cities/country
Revenge for the sake of revenge seems like pointless bloodshed to me. It doesn't fix the problem, and possibly makes it even worse.
Hey buddy your kind killed my people...........so we are going to kill you.
It's pretty simple.
