[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 2599015, member: 3099"] The bolded part. That's why "big boy war" is avoided at almost all costs. The key word being almost because you have to have a line somewhere. But cross that line and you have to show that you will do what you have to do. It's that whole deterrent concept. Society today and their lack of cojones for true war reminds me of that old original Star Trek episode with two planets at war with each other. Only they really weren't, there were computers that did simulated attacks and computed the casualties on each side, then each side had machines that killed their citizens, which they willingly went to. All in the name of avoiding actual damage and suffering of war. The result of that was that there was really no motivation to end their war. In a way we really aren't that far off from that. Also at some point the rest of the world is going to have to realize that these ISIS animals [B][I]DO ACTUALLY HAVE[/I][/B] the cojones to wage war and that they have declared war on us. The sooner people wake up to this fact will result in less suffering on both sides, but it'll be a real ***** for awhile. Question is how long do we want to drag it out? It's just a fact that we won't be left alone if we try to leave them alone, especially if we cut off all their oil money. [/QUOTE]
