Pissacki needs to be air dropped in Afghanistan!

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

If it were left simply to the President of the United States to make that call I would feel differently however, it is not, the process to actually authorizing a strike goes through many processes in many different departments including our military...

Things such as locks known as Permissive Action Links meant to prevent, say, a member of the military from launching a nuclear weapon to what to do in the case of nuclear war, a version of which is still in use today And thankfully not completely disclosed for general public knowledge.

Congress the last idiots that need to have control...

Very true, the democrats can lie to the Americans but the read of the world sees their incompetence on full display!

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

Britain has being extremely vocal and with due cause...Along with other world leaders who are more than just a bit ticked off. Biden doesn’t know what day it is let alone understanding the process of nuking someone. I mean look at the drone attack we administered in retaliation for the loss of our soldiers now that was some BS! “We will hunt you down and make you pay” yeah right big talk no action!

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

Yes Sir, as do we!!!The left just believes if they repeat long enough their BS “eventually” we will buy it!!! You know that brainwashing mentality of repeat it, repeat it ,repeat it and soon people believe it...🙄Ha,boy do we have news for them!

Good luck changing that. There's a reason countries don't carpet bomb. Maybe put your thinking cap on & see if you can discover the reason. Since you brought it up, stupid would be voting for someone that wanted to subvert Congress from performing their duty to count the electors. I'll grant you didn't know that ahead of time.

Are you that naive to believe terrorists are going to play by the rules of war?

Carpet bombing is a tactic and a measure of last resort.
It is also now widely understood to be effectively illegal under the Law of Armed Conflict, which would make the United States' use of this tactic a war crime.
It is different from precision bombing, guided by Special Operations Forces, the standard tactic for our armed forces today.

That's not subverting congress you low I.Q. trolling worthless soy boy. It's been done often. Mater of fact it was done by democrats after Trump won. The reason countries don't carpet bomb is PC outrage from all the soy boys like you and of course the people they flatten. One of the reasons we don't win wars any more is pukes like you don't know how to fight. I knew better to get in conversations with you since I know you are nothing more than a liar and like to bait and switch.

It can be done. Just not called carpet bombing. All semantics. I could care less if we carpet bombed the Taliban.

Tippy has never been in the armed forces thus is ignorant and should keep his mouth shut on those topics. Thanks for the facts we like to learn and appreciate our military. My dad was in the army and the Navy and my brother served 2 tours in Vietnam. God bless all you warriors no matter where you served you are the best of what America is. Love and cherish every one of you. No matter where you went any dirogitory actions are accountable at the top not with those who fought for us at home.

It may not be that great of a strategy, 1. it is not legal 2. it is difficult to carpet bomb and only destroy the Taliban, most likely kill civilian women and children.

The preferred legal precision bombing

Precision bombing refers to the attempted aerial bombing of a target with some degree of accuracy, with the aim of limiting collateral damage. An example would be destroying a single building in a built-up area causing minimal damage to the surroundings. Precision bombing was initially tried by both the Allied and Central Powers during World War I, however, it was found to be ineffective because the technology did not allow for sufficient accuracy. Therefore, the air forces turned to area bombardment, which inevitably brought about civilian casualties.[1] "Precision bombing" was notably attempted by the United States Army Air Forces over Europe during World War II, as it was believed that heavy bombers could accurately bomb targets from high altitude using the Norden bombsight. Since then, the development and adoption of guided munitions have greatly increased the accuracy of aerial bombing. Because the accuracy achieved in the bombing is dependent on the available technology, the "precision" of precision bombing is relative to the time period.

Precision has always been recognized as an important attribute of weapon development. The noted military theorist, strategist, and historian Major-General J. F. C. Fuller considered "accuracy of aim" one of the five recognizable attributes of weaponry, together with a range of action, striking power, the volume of fire, and portability.
Increasingly, U.S. forces have used bombs with highly precise laser-guidance systems and those that rely on satellite guidance gear. Satellite-guided bombs can be used more effectively than others in bad weather.

One new weapon, the Joint Direct Attack Munition, or JDAM, is a free-falling bomb that has been fitted with a satellite-guidance "kit" and a special tail section that allows it to correct itself and maneuver -- albeit for relatively short distances -- to its target. It still needs to be dropped by an aircraft into a small target area, called a "basket," in much the same way that old-fashioned gravity bombs are deployed.

A JDAM can correct for sudden wind in midflight, but it can be thrown off if hit by heavy crosswinds near the ground. And the electronic signals used by the satellite guidance system can be interrupted by jamming by a sophisticated enemy or inadvertently by other transmitters used by U.S. forces.

Laser-guided bombs are the most precise of all because they follow a thin beam to a precise point on the ground.
"In the real world, this stuff works fairly well most of the time, but not perfectly well all of the time," said John Pike, a defense analyst with GlobalSecurity.org, a research organization in Virginia.

They forget their actions very easily to double down on dumbass like their leader Obiden!!!

It’s funny how all these liberal baby’s pretend to know how the military works without having any experience from actually being in it! Demote Fi to all you fools who don’t know what that means!

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

While I don’t know much about precision bombing or carpet bombing but I can tell you what my father(Air Force) used to say when speaking about strategy with his friends..

He always preferred mixed ground attack bomber types because that could function well in the randomness of a battle... More damage a lot quicker without risk of missing your target or get shot down in the process..Heavy bombers work for stationary and Fighter bombers for infantry. Now you guys are gonna have to figure it out...I only know I was always so impressed when and if you did speak of anything during his time in the service....
