You can't blow stuff up by air if there are civilians in the area. Airpower can't win when you're fighting in cities and towns. You need people to call targets, and sometimes you need people to fight. Boots on the ground isn't always to take and hold territory. Sometimes you need them to fight too.
You can blow up civilians, it's just immoral and hopefully our military will avoid doing that.
It can be done though and it's easier than avoiding doing it.
If the objective was just to bomb them and ruin their day, air power is fine.
Who taught you this 'boots on the ground' junk science anyways?
Hahaha that was /sarcasm.
I'm not sure I understand the problem with the Treasury paying back people who purchased bonds. Am I misunderstanding the issue here? Please elaborate because I don't really know what you're referring to in relation to 'dumping bonds'.
it's your $$$ that will vanish when you give it all to them for some useless metals that no store accepts as currency

If they had the balls to take the gloves off, then yes, absolutely, casualties would be ignored. But we don't have anyone in the final decision making loop that would allow that to happen, short of a massive attack on the mainland, that would make 9/11 look like a love tap.
You dont know about about the military,(or about policies under the President) By stating that as you did , doesnt that mean you started the thread with ignorance ? I hope you are better informed now

I posted this in the "Dissecting Disinformation" forum for a reason.
If I were ignorant I would have simply taken all these claims for face value. Isn't that the point of ATS, to share ideas and resources with each other and have productive conversations?
Sorry my thread didn't live up to your standards and you felt the need to claim I " started a thread out of ignorance " ??

And you know what the solution is? Why more money of course. Lots and lots of money.
... I wonder what their next trick will be when they can't create digital money out of thin air anymore and distribute the inflation around the world through the petrodollar?
