If you want to know how to fight a war....

   ....[1]ask a Marine.

     We are never, ever going to learn that you canât play war nice. You
     canât play war. You go in in an armed conflict, you kill people who
     give you problems and people you think might give you problems
     later if you donât kill them now.
     Itâs bad, itâs mean, itâs dirty, itâs evil. It should be done only
     as a last resort, but when you do, the provocateurs should know
     that when our military comes at them, it will be the end of their
     lives, in one way or another. In this way, we will have much fewer
     cases that require the final option.

   What the peaceniks never seem to understand is that if we fought wars
   like they ought to be fought, there'd be a lot less of them. You go
   in, kick ass, take names and leave nobody standing (of the enemy, not
   the civilians, OK?) You leave a gaping, smoking hole where the enemy
   used to be.
   Guess what the survivors do. Surrender...in a damn hurry, because they
   don't want to be next. Look what Japan did after we dropped the bomb.
   They got the message.
   The way we fight wars now (if you want to call it that) prolongs the
   misery and ensures that the enemy will be back again in a few years,
   ready to fight again. Look at all the stupid Islamofacists that think
   they've won when they lost - like Hizbollah in Lebanon - it's because
   Israel didn't kick their asses hard enough and long enough. They
   should have driven right through that stupid country and killed
   everyone pointing a weapon at them.
   Pansy-ass war-fighting just leads to more death and destruction. In
   the end, it's much more inhumane than a good old-fashioned
   ass-whuppin'.
