re: #1003 Cato the Elder

Right. Kill anyone who fails to snap to attention at the thud of Army boots and the hoisting of the flag.

That’s US.

So it’s better what we are doing in Afghanistan now? I’d say fewer would have died if we bombed until submission. Certainly would have cost us less lives. That together with constant leaflet droppings saying we will stop the moment the Taliban surrenders Osama and gang and Taliban surrenders unconditionally, I think the Taliban would have folded on their own.

Worked on the Japanese—another one of those wars that would have been too costly to prosecute.
