Not what I asked shite head. Of course you would slink away. Again, did that specific bombing campaign produce the desired result? Yes or no. I know your cowardly arse won't answer directly

---

we didn’t need to continue it because we had this new thing called a nuclear bomb meaning we no longer needed to risk hundreds of planes flying firebombing raids. We only needed one high altitude bomber to drop one bomb to do the equivalent.

Without the bomb, we could have continued the firebombing until the point the Japanese were exterminated or cried uncle

Again, I need a specific example of 'we didn't do what was necessary to win.'

Appendix E: Rules of Engagement for U.S. Military Forces in Iraq Issued by U.S. Central Command Combined Forces Land Component Commander A laminated card with the following text was distributed to all U.S. Army and Marine personnel in Iraq. CFLCC ROE CARD On order, enemy military and paramilitary forces are declared hostile and may be attacked subject to the following instructions: a) Positive identification (PID) is required prior to engagement. PID is a reasonable certainty that the proposed target is a legitimate military target. If no PID, contact your next higher commander for decision b) Do not engage anyone who has surrendered or is out of battle due to sickness or wounds. c) Do not target or strike any of the following except in self-defense to protect yourself, your unit, friendly forces, and designated persons or property under your control: Civilians Hospitals, mosques, national monuments, and any other historical and cultural sites. d) Do not fire into civilian populated areas or buildings unless the enemy is using them for military purposes or if necessary for your self-defense. Minimize collateral damage. e) Do not target enemy infrastructure (public works, commercial communication facilities, dams), Lines of Communication (roads, highways, tunnels, bridges, railways) and Economic Objects (commercial storage facilities, pipelines) unless necessary for self-defense or if ordered by your commander. If you must fire on these objects to engage a hostile force, disable and disrupt but avoid destruction of these objects, if possible. The use of force, including deadly force, is authorized to protect the following: Yourself, your unit, and friendly forces Enemy Prisoners of War Civilians from crimes that are likely to cause death or serious bodily harm, such as murder or rape Designated civilians and/or property, such as personnel of the Red Cross/Crescent, UN, and US/UN supported organizations 3. Treat all civilians and their property with respect and dignity. Do not seize civilian property, including vehicles, unless you have the permission of a company level commander and you give a receipt to the property’s owner. Detain civilians if they interfere with mission accomplishment or if required for self-defense. CENTCOM General Order No. 1A remains in effect. Looting and the taking of war trophies are prohibited

That's a compliment from a guy who thinks the concept of a war crime developed in 1945. You are just a regular coward man. You'll outsource whatever death and destruction and write-off on-the-ground realities as 'leftism.' Capitalize some more words, you great big fat person.

I’d enter the codes myself.

Die or cry uncle. Those are the options in war.

I see you're unable to answer the question. If a blood thirsty psychopath like you is unwilling under the benefit of anonymity to answer this question then I think that says we don't have the political will to carry out your insane objectives.

Again, you didn't answer the question. Truly some insightful stuff.

Quite literally did your reading comprehension is arse.

No, no we wouldn't.

Yes. We would have

Yes, a great big fat dude is apparently now talking about using nuclear weapons. Truly we are speaking with a modern military master.

Aww I’m fat now?

Do what you have to do to win or don’t fight at all. Half measures and fighting one arm behind the back will never work. See every war we have been involved in since 1945.

Anything else retard?

So presumably you acknowledge this as pure stupidity and a huge blunder right?

I answered your question. Die. Or cry uncle.

I asked what number you're comfortable with. Can you give us a ROM on what you're comfortable with?

Bro casually mentioned the American approach to Japan like it wasn't the result of the entire reorientation of the American economy. The Mariana and Palau Islands campaign used more ships in that one campaign than the US currently has active. Given current shipbuilding rates and the associated labor issues, we are several, several years away from something like that. Just utter drive-by Twitter posting with no reference to anything resembling a 'fact.' They really aren't sending their best.

Nope. I asked about the objectives of a very particular campaign. I don't know how many times you've avoided answering it, but you decidedly did not answer it.

Yes. We would have

No, we wouldn't have. fricker, Henry Stimson saved Kyoto from massive destruction.

Great, so we aren't going to win in Iran. Good talk. Run along little guy.

Buddy, you desperately need read a book. France didn't really fight in Vietnam with a hand behind their back and were beaten. The Chinese were also beaten by the Vietnamese.

The people you’re talking to right now are terrorist and Marxist. Having a moral debate with them is absurd.

Yeah, invoking a moral debate while lying about me is certainly a strategy. I don't expect you will see the contradiction though bud.

You really are fricking retarded. I said we didn’t need to continue the firebombing campaign because we now had nuclear bombs which drastically reduced the risk to American airmen.
