That was Praxus's original statement, and it is ENTIRELY accurate.

The forties was one of the most barbarous decades of man's existence, i would not wish to return to such tactics and see no need to in the current situation.

His statement that started all the controversy....and by the way the US did reinforce, and may yet still go in...arty and all. That would make his 'controversial' statement not only a sound military observation, but perhaps even prophetic.
"That sounds pretty indescriminate to me. I accept your qualification now, perhaps to avoid confusion it would be better to qualify it at the time you said it."
There was nothing indiscriminate at all about it. Perhaps your lack of understanding of how artillery strikes are called and executed has you confused. The only 'indiscriminate' part about his statement was 'blow em all up'. By 'all' i would imagine praxus meant 'all' of the enemy fighters.
I on the other hand would have already ordered the whole shithole carpet bombed. Probably because i see the "War Vs Islam" as inevitable, and would rather fight it now while it would be relatively easy....instead of later when it would not.

Perhaps i don't understand the finer points of how artillery strikes are called. But i don't remember going to war to fight a territorial battle for complete domination and subjugation of another country (in forties style). We did not go in to set up colonies etc. Therefore mass extermination ain't the option.
Part of the problem with this war is the we all have to have our own reasons, i guess, because the official ones change every week.

Now you can call me 'indiscriminate', and you can also know in advance that i don't give a **** what you think.

Are you convinced that your proposed actions would not prove the militants correct and cause more moderates to believe that "the US must be the great Satan, it has just sent a load of heavy bombers to lay waste to a religious site" ?
