Calls for more GBU-39 for ISIS.
Screw boots on the ground! Put nukes on the ground! We need to stop dancing around what war is... we need to decimate them and the lands in which they derive power from. Send a message that if they want the full might of the US, then they will get it.
We don't need to eradicate them with infantry and armor, we need to psychologically break them. That's what this war is about. Wills and psyches. If we send a strong message, any future populaces will think twice before they choose to harbor this organization, and anyone thinking about executing American citizens will think twice before they do so.
I think we need to go back to Atomic bombs like Fat Man for this job. Our current Thermonuclear weapons are just too large to be of any use.
I visited the Air Force museum in Dayton a few years ago. The B-29 "Bockscar" that dropped Fat Man is there. Looks like they could fire the sucker back up and do another run.
It's not the most efficient design. less than 20% of the fissionable material actually achieved fission, but MAN what a bang! Seems to be plenty efficient for what we need to do.
sorry ace, thats how a war is won and they declared it first. just wait til they make a burning pile of bodies, tossing your kids on for kindling. lets not ***** foot around any more.Who is this "them" to which you refer? Because if you know where "them" is located, you might want to share that info. Otherwise, you are making the MOAG (Mother Of All Generalizations). Unless you are advocating the murder of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or millions of innocent people in the quest to quench your blood-lust.
In the 10 plus years of the War on Terror, there have been about 5200 Americans killed. In that same time frame, there have been well over 125,000 Americans killed by other Americans right here in the good old U.S.A..
"We have met the enemy... and he is us"
I really don't see the US going into a full scale war or pulling out just for the sake of two unfortunate people executed in their cause.
