Yeah yeah, I know, Putin is a badass,  he has the will to win and we are soft etc. etc.

I have to believe there are noncombatants in the areas being bombed right now.

Strange, I would think cluster munitions were highly effective in cities...
In a religious war (which is how the jihadis see it) there are no noncombatants.

From that angle you won't see the ones that make it to the ground, but yeah...  Sides, tops, bottoms of buildings....

Aren't a lot of our nukes targeted in a "cluster" fashion? That is, five warheads per target: one each to the north, south, east, west, and one in the middle, all to explode simultaneously? Seems like I read that somewhere way back. I remember it made me go:

Yeah, it's perfectly o.k. if the U.S. kills civilians by the hundreds of thousands, but if someone else does it then it's a "war crime." If the Germans had fire bombed American cities like we did Dresden and others there wouldn't have been enough rope in Europe to hang them all.

No point getting up on your hind legs caterwauling about it: it's 100% true. That's the thing about killing civilians: if you're going to do it, you'd better win the war, because if you don't:

Russia isn't getting shit done they are throwing shit at a wall and hoping some of it sticks. They suck at targeting there is a time and place to use ICMs and a lot of the time they fuck it up. Speaking as someone who has had to clean up a few cluster bombs using the wrong ordnance on a target can give you bad to no effect and make it worse in the long run.

The SAA has made gains for the first time in a long time, essentially encircling Aleppo.  Their involvement has not been a game changer on the ground, but it has been helpful no doubt.  The political implications are more important anyway.

So you're saying my grandpa deserved to be hanged? But he got a pass because we won the war?



If it's 100% true then why was it that when the Germans lost, I don't seem to recall the Brits demanding the rounding up of every Luftwaffe aircrew that was on a Heinkel, Junkers or Dornier during the Blitz so they could string them all up in 1945?

I'm talking about places like Ramadi where Isis blocked off the egress routes and the IA had to open them up while other units advances from a different direction. We provided the precision firepower. Even then the place looks like shit we just didn't kill as many non combatants.

ISIS hides / shields them self behind civilians. In Irag the ROE (IIRC) was to avoid destroying mosque. Some "leader" holed up in one for 3-4 weeks, taking shots at US forces. Knowing the U.S would not level the mosque, bad press and all that PC shit.

These fuckers blow up bazaars for practice, not giving a fuck who gets killed or maimed. You want to play softball, go ahead.   Terrorism isn't or will never be a conventional war.
