Solid,
A 500-2000 precision guided bomb dropped on a selected dwelling does not equate to a sledge hammer. We no longer eliminate city blocks in order to destroy one building. If you have been watching the recent US military air strikes occurring in downtown Baghdad you will notice this is exactly what we are employing to kill pond scum and by utilizing this very effective removal method we are in fact limiting the collateral damage.
We also are accepting/tolerating the collateral damage this method imparts.
Now if the pond scum is located next to a children’s school or a hospital we would most likely employ another method of pond scum removal. And then again if we desired to capture said pond scum in an effort to extract information concerning the location of more pond scum we would again rethink our weapons employment to achieve this end.
Every mission is different.
Try again.
Why is SOF more effective than the conventional military in combating global terrorism?
