We fought those enemies without laser targeted weapons, drones and smart bombs. Rather, we carpet bombed, naplmed and dropped atom bombs.How on earth did we defeat the Fascists? They killed civilians by the mass grave full.So we should become like ISIS because that's the only way to preserve freedom?According to the Geneva Conventions, (you know, that agreement we have with a lot of other nations about the proper conduct on the battle field), waterboarding IS torture.
Matter of fact, Pol Pot used it quite effectively to garner false confessions from political dissidents.
ISIS is not part of the Geneva Convention, they behead captives, there are no rules in the war on terror, none.
Ya gotta burn the village in order to save the village, right?
If you are not at least as ruthless as your enemy, you will lose.
We killed Nazis, Blackshirts and Bushido Boys by the hundreds of thousands, and collateral damage was a marginal concern. It didn't hogtie us the way it does today.
