it’s interesting that you have the same outlook I do on this. But not shocking as we are both Alpha males with military backgrounds.

The modern world ridiculously demands that all “civilized” governments abide by the Geneva Convention. And this is nothing more than a set of political, and moral handcuffs that keep us from eradicating the problem of terrorism for the most part. ( because even if we engage them at their level, they will never fully go away. They will only shrink back into the woodwork.)

The ONLY way to fight a savage, is AS a savage.. He blows up a bus, you JDAM a convoy. She hoists up an RPG and preps to fire it, you eradicate every living thing within 500 meters.

And in the end we come down to the same realization unfortunately: Pain begets pain. And might in it’s own sick and twisted way makes might a perverted form of “right”.

it is a paradox. Can’t we all just get along? No, we can’t.

we never have, and we never will.
