Its not like the US has not used these tactics before. In world war 2 i can pull up COUNTLESS articles on atrocities commited by Americans and Germans and Russians.
But by the American atrocities the war, in Europe, was ended far sooner. Americans used to, to avoid snipers and panzerfaust teams, drive their Sherman tanks THROUGH the houses of town. Right through the walls and occupents.
And if the Germans were in a house next to a hospital or anything like that, they would just bomb the hell out of it. Also anybody hear of Dresden??!??!?!?!?!
Unconditional warfare is already used by the Terrorists- why dont we just give them what they and their families, deserve?

What war boils down to is the elimination of the enemy without withholding anything, and i think that its about time the United States does that. They need to show these people that you can go shoot at Americans and then hide behind some Arab woman because they know we wont shoot. People of American and the United States Military: It is now time to employ Full out warfare tactics, it is time we use what we used in ww2. A full out war, bombing everything taht we needed to bomb to achieve our goal. We should NOT hold back any longer. We will destroy EVERYONE associated with terrorists and once we CRUSH their backbone of support THEN they will collapse. I am sick and tired of hearing about how the terrorist just "blend" back into their society and they are EXTREMELY hard to catch. Someone must know about these terrorist and its about time we start killing the Associates. This is, I think, our course of action that we should take and we should engage this fully with the understanding that THIS tactic is the only one that will win and will win the war with terror faster. This sounds harsh and OH NO YOU WILL BE KILLING CIVILIANS! its about time we put down this load of BS and frickin go kill anyone associated with them: if their families help, a bomb will come from our plane to decimate their house, if their friend helps them or doesnt tell US troops about them then he will be destroyed. IT is time that America looks past the worlds bickerings on warfare and enters a new stage of fighting.

What kind of a sick whacked up person are you? you sit with your frail little body behind your chair and chirp your "comments" oblivious to the reality that surrounds you. Guerilla warfare is effective against most anything that has to do with government or military. But what i find absurd is the fact that you think that terrorism could possibly be "good." Yea ya know, making a reasonably justifiying reason for killing millions of Jews in concentration camps is just about as plausible as your comment. You are a sophomoric pansy who thinks that "i can say whatever i want bc i am granted the right and i can piss on my people and my military forces behind my desk." You Do have the right but really DO YOU? HAVE YOU SACRIFICED ANYTHING for your country or would you even think about sacrifcing yourself for something higher? all you are is a selfish, gloat who feeds off of others work for their own freedom. You should be ashamed even to exist.

Yes, did it make them happy?
was it the "right" thign to do?
NO!
The Geneva Code is a bunch of BS that hardly anyone even abides to anyways.
NO IT IS NOT!
You dont understand what it means , this in fullwarfare protects POW's, defends the rights of civilians and stops the tactics used in the japanese camps in WW2. Would you like it if you as a service man was tortured by I dunno a proffesional soldier? NO
Also, the fact is WE obey it!
We live by its moral standards and we wont lower ourselves to the level you suggest!
We wont be drawn down into the slime!
And finally we are a country that has a military with strength, not a frickin liberal one that would say"lets listen to everyones comment" and OH NO we cant shoot injured Iraqis even though they blew us up before when they were acting dead, and OH NO we cant "take out" their families even though they support them, and OH NO we couldnt possibly have CIVILIAN CASUALITIES!!!!!! oh the horror!!! Hey its their fault if they die and maybe if they actually turned in terrorists instead of helping them, then i might feel sorry for them.
Your country , sorry to say this, like mine has built its power on suffering and killing. Military strength alone doesnt make a country, it makes a dictator ship.
Only lately has our ways changed and only lately have we seen what happens when we attack civilians, there is no one left.
The poeple in iraq help them because america bombs and kills thier peopel , all of the time its acidental I might add, but still if you where seeing your people dieing around you at the hands of "liberators" would you feel comfertable with them?
NO.
Why dont you go to iraq?
HUH!

Our armed forces are made up of voluntary, professional soldiers who don't go around killing the innocent bystanders. (Most of the time. I wonder about Fallujah)
Love and light,

So many threads here consist of full warfare against a small group of violent people. People that were not violent before the invasion of Iraq. Throwing bombs and other heavy munitions on supsected small groups of violent people creates a multitude of nonviolent people deaths. There is no excuse for this and it continues today in Iraq and Afghanistan. Voluntary soldiers and those who support this type of action will get no sympathy from me as this needless body count continues to rise.

I find though that most of the AMerican Soldiers from ww2 (i know i go back to this alot) grew up without horrid memories or mental destruction.
IF they did it back then in a conventional war, then we should be able to do it in a war against terror.
They are soldiers, they have to do what they have to do and if you want your boy comin back alive you better hope they initiate some sort of "backbreaking" campaign or we will never defeat these terrorists.
If anyone has seen "The Rules of Engagement" you find that in these terrorists, they are anyone- even a little girl was shooting at Americans in the movie- I do not care or not how old the human being is but if they, or anyone else aids to the death of my fellow citizens then they will be killed.
