Arg this is the thread I was looking for. How about leaving the titles up Redleg?
I've been thinking about this situation with Falujah (spl?). There are a couple of ways to go about it.
A
1) Surround the city with Artillery and Howitzers.
2) Allow women and children to leave city.
3) Demand surrender of key targets and militia. If they do not comply, start shelling the city.
4) Accept surrender given after 5 minutes of shelling.
B
1) Send a battalion of Marines into the city.
2) Besides scaring the *hit out of everyone, they totally dominate due to their superiority.
3) Once city is in control of US, occupy it the same way we occupied Germany and Japan. This way might have more casualties, but right now they (opposition) think the Americans are soft and if they kill a few of us we'll turn and run (as seen in Somalia). Its very misreprenting of the soldiers. If we went with Plan B, I'm confident any resolve they had to fight would be lost or greatly damaged.
yea I'm a little fired up now. Or pissed off. Now the hippies and anti-war crowd are going to attack the President and America instead of the Moslems who are the opposition. Even if they don't agree with the war, they should be behind their country and government.
