Zero: Random Thoughts on how the "War" in Iraq can be improved...
"You're right, Kern. Who gives a FUCK who I offend...?"PYSCHOLOGICAL and TOTAL WARFARE
1.) Load the bodies of captured or dead insurgents into 155mm cannons and blast them back into the town they came from.
2.) Strap bombs onto a herd of pigs and let them loose into suspected terrorist training camps.
We pretty much do this already; just replace the predator drones with pigs... something they actually 'fear'.3.) During engagements with enemy insurgents, combine traditional close air support with pig blood dropped from supporting air tankers.
4.) Force the families of insurgents into concentration camps for re-education and de-programming.
5.) For every IED, VBIED, or HBIED encountered raze and destroy the town/village responsible (or the closest one to it).
6.) If any instance of enemy activity is encountered from a building with protected status (i.e mosques), that structure will immediately lose it's protected status and will be razed and destroyed.
There will be no hesitation.
7.) Accompany all air raids and massive ground actions with harsh or humorous music (i.e American Headcharge, Bile, Rammstein, the opening theme of Beetlejuice, etc).
8.) Reinstate Napalm for use in close air support.
9.) Reinstate flamethrowers for use in urban warfare.
10.) Use
ANY means necessary to extract information from captured insurgents without hesitation. Terrorist insurgents are not recognized war combatants in uniform and therefore hold no POW status. (Technically, the rules of engagement don't even apply to them.... therefore shoot on site if you don't want to capture them.)
The above are only opinions on how the war in Iraq and elsewhere on terrorism can be improved. Some may think that the above can be considered unjust and morally wrong. War is NEVER just or pretty. War is the failure of diplomacy and reason. War means people will die; the goal is to ensure that more of them die than us by
whatever means necessary. Total Warfare:
Destroying an enemy's military forces does not ensure victory. Only by destroying an enemy's spirit can true victory be won.
You must break their will. You must destroy their ability to make war and see it through to the very end to ensure it can never happen again.
Recent wars and military actions where Total Warfare was not used:
Korea: We pulled out while we had the upper hand and brought the current issues we face with N. Korea upon us.
Vietnam: We all know how that one ended. Some say we lost the battle but won the war. I suppose that's true. Communism in S.E Asia was contained after all. But in my opinion, if you're gonna fight, fight to win and see it through to the end. No regrets.
Persian Gulf: If we'd done it right the first time, we wouldn't be here right now.
The fact is that our soldiers are trained to destroy the enemy.
But in actual war, they're not allowed to destroy the enemy the way they've been trained. We're fighting a "war" with one hand tied around our balls....
...again.
The question is
not 'why' or 'how' we became involved in this "war". The point is that regardless of 'why' or 'how' or whether we were
justified to be here in the first place, we are now commited to finishing something we started.
History has shown us time and time again, that only a policy of Total Warfare can quickly destroy an enemy and end wars. General (and later President) Sherman proved this in his march to the sea that razed Atlanta. General (and later President) Andrew Jackson proved this by carrying out this same kind of warfare on native Americans. General Pershing proved this with his merciless slaughter of insurgents in the Philippines (thus proving that a hostile populace CAN in fact be conquered, occupied, and re-educated without the extended ordeal we're currently going through). The United States military proved this with the fire-bombings of Tokyo and the nuclear destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. To argue any of these points would be moot as you can't argue with hard line results, history, and fact.
Unfortunately, there are some people (and cultures) that only understand force. Therefore you have to forcefully pacify them... then maybe they'll be more receptive to your efforts to help them.

Ok... I say again, the above is only an opinion... And I'm entitled to it.

...so fuck off. Heh. :-P
