Hi kvkkc1; Re: "Many in this country don't have the stomach for what needs to be done." True, but they are not in the majority.

Re: "Secondly, our military hasn't trained for this type of warfare." False.

Re: "Logistically, it will be a nightmare." True, but wars are always logistical nightmares.

Re: "Our soldiers will be told to be sensitive to the customs of the host country, just as we were 10 years ago in Saudi." True, just as our soldiers were told to be sensitive to the customs of Britain in 1940.

Re: "We no longer have the killer instinct that we need in the Armed Forces. They have been babied." False and false. Due to advances in the practical psychological theory of killing, combat soldiers are more ready to kill than ever, but to avoid atrocities. They did fine in the last Gulf war.
