We are not in the crusades mate, the only object of battle is to win with as little casualties as possible. And sorry to sound harsh but in a combat situation the only casualties that matter are the ones on your side. and for your information calling in an airstrike has the possibility of being exeptionally dangerous. Many airstrikes or close air support calls are made on target areas extremely close to the area the coalition forces are in. The soldiers risk themselves by calling in a more decisive form of combat. Certainly in WWII and veitnam many allied forces were killed by bombs dropped by their own planes.
And i would like to see you climb in to the cokpit of a JSF or a Helo and do a run at a target surrounded by friendlies travelling at incredible speeds. cowardly method of fighting. Tell that to the pilots who die all the time doing their job.

Are you retarded? It is called taking out the majority of them or using some propaganda on their butts and making their will to fight go away with all of the bombing. Are you saying it is better that we lose more soldiers and fight man to man??? It is called technology and it is there to be used. And dropping the bomb on Hiroshima is what made Japan end the war otherwise it would probably still be going on with as many people as they have in their Army and willing to kill themselves for the cause.

using fact it extremely is not that easy. initially, there is not any such component as "a secret air strike." Such an action is an irrevocable act of war and it extremely is not as though Iran does no longer be attentive to who became in charge for any such strike. Iran would not have nuclear weapons. they have a handful of fabric that they might use to make weapons yet they nonetheless have an prolonged the thank you to flow previously they have a conceivable nuclear missile. lots of Iran's centers for processing this textile are deep underground. some air strikes can't do it. regardless of if we did destroy their centers, then what? it extremely can't convince Iran's government to end this technique. they're going to easily thumb their nostril at us, and rebuild. they're going to probable additionally fling regardless of radioactive debris from the bombing runs in Israel's standard path. to fairly end Iran's nuclear software via militia ability might require an entire invasion and profession of Iran. in case you theory Iraq became a bad mess, I assure any such challenge in Iran would be lots longer, lots bloodier, and lots lots lots greater costly. Now, particular, if we knew Iran had a nuclear missile they have been making waiting to fireside at Israel then we would probable have no selection yet to strike and take it out. yet Iran's no longer there yet, and there remains time for diplomatic strategies to artwork.

It is called "Fire Superiority"! All countries with Army's do it when they can.
Firing at America/NATO troops from behind civilian men, women and children is much braver and a lot more fair? The death toll you are talking about was changed and it was never a number of Iraqis killed by NATO/American troops, it was mostly Iraqi killing Iraqi.
Soldier for Soldier the US military would win anyway.

I guess you are calling insurgance "innocent Civilains" too huh?
To answer your question, the use of one guided missile or bomg to prevent the death of one Soldier and to destroy the enemy without civilian casualties is worth it.
Your type is the worst. Living under the wing of a soldier and yet you sucker punch him or her when ever you get a chance. I'd like to toss you in the middle of the Sunni Triangle and let you see how fast you die at the hands of people that don't care who you are or what you stand for.
Edit
Based on some of your other posts...you are Not American. Thank goodness. If you don't like us, continue to live your sultry life and sulk...it's not your fault your stupid.

Cowardly? Not really.
In war, you apply the maximum amount of force to inflict the maximum damage to your enemy with the minimum risk to YOUR troops. Your own troops are NOT to be treated as cannon-fodder, but are valuable. So while house-to-house or man-to-man combat may be needed - and our troops are trained for it - it is NOT the first option selected. If an air strike can save YOUR troops' lives - you USE it.

That is called winning my language challenged friend. We are not there to play cowboys and indians. The American military has one function; to kill people and break things. If you run afoul of the USA that will be your fate as well.
