If Allied Soldiers Had The Mentality Of Rebels And Guerilla Warlords

Imagine if America/Canada/UK/Australia and all our other allies, had the mentality of rebels, like "don't give a rats ass about anything or any other living being" how fast would the wars be won? I know its America's policy NOT to shoot first, and to PROTECT INNOCENT LIFE BY ALL MEANS. But imagine the allied forces DIDN'T wait for the first shot? And imagine us NOT being civilized human beings? What if we just sent our fighter jets and dropped bombs all over Afghanistan and Iraq, I mean EVERYWHERE, not just guaranteed threat locations. Then walked in there to clean up the rest of the mess by shooting ANYONE that we thought was a threat? I mean a total annihilation. Like when a dirty terrorist grabs a woman for cover while he's shooting at INNOCENT PEOPLE, why not blow the hell out of both of them? Why try to save her life? Why give "alleged terrorists" a fair trial and hold them in proper jail cells? Why not just kill them execution style like the way other countries do to their enemies? Everyone in the world is calling us the bad guys anyways. Al Jazeera is the "most unbiased news station" and they are saying we are the bad guys

Thats for a thought.

Now back to reality, it is OUR duty to protect civilians. We cannot go into wars and destroy everyone because our morals are straight. We are civilized people and we are spreading freedom, not terror. This is what separates and divides us from the terrorists.

Its always much easier when one looks at things from the opposite perspective. We have never chosen the easy path and that is why we are who we are and those that have gone before us have paid the price and so shall we when called upon once again.

We can't go around shooting civilians and bombing properties out of hand. However, we can bomb the hell out of the massive poppy fields that fuel the coffers in Afghanistan. It has been mentioned before, Agent Orange seems a nice colour to use

Ecocide might not equal genocide, but has a much more lasting impact. Find a more intelligent way of doing it.

Cheaper is to make it legal so it's worth nothing.
