The biggest stupidity in war is this insane idea that wars should be 'clean'.

Robert S. McNamars former Sec Def under LBJ did a thingy called "The Fog of War". Probaly responsible for getting more Americans killed than any other one thing. In one place he referred to what he called "proportional response". Seems to think that if the enemy sinks one of our boats, we should sink one of theirs. IMHO, we should sink their whole freakin navy.

Neat art - good message.

My dad and I were discussing 'war' recently - and we both agree that war today has become way, way too acceptable. The biggest stupidity in war is this insane idea that wars should be 'clean'.

They should NOT be. Civilian casualties should be maximized, and the destruction should be widespread.

This clean war bullshit has made war far too 'politically acceptable'.

War should ALWAYS be a horror - something to be avoided with maximum effort.

That said - sometimes there IS evil in this world that the only acceptable solution is war to wipe it out.

My Dad is a warrior - retired USAF Lt. Col - and he paid his dues in protecting this country and our Constitution - many times over. Forward Air Controller in Vietnam was no picnic.
