No prisoners means far fewer problems!

Allow no surrenders and take no town while there is a living ISIL fighter within it's bounds.

Is that a reflection of US or Candian values?

Stoned,
Simple pragmatic values! Low cost and no security risks, values I learned in another war.

Time for war to lose it's glamour and heroics, time for it to be seen for what it truly is, ugly, brutish, and cruel! The Highway of Death is a good model.

I am very familiar with the Highway of Death. Unfortunately Gen Powell talked Bush into ceasing operations and let the Iraqies retreat in peace. You know, PC, bad press etc.

Thumper,
One of the reasons I didn't stay in the military, to many warriors and not enough soldiers.

I really enjoyed my 6 years with the USAF (SAC), but not enough to make it a career.

Didn't know SAC took prisoners.

Stoned,
Nice thing about using air power is that you don't have to put boots on the ground or take prisoners! No-roll zones and services removal until towns and cities build us piles of ISIS bodies, not real humane, but very effective! Allow women and children to leave, leave the able bodied men to remove the ISIS from their towns, if it soothes you mind.

Stoned,
Hearts and minds failed miserably, or don't you remember? Best you can hope for is fear and loathing that will keep the violence quelled.
