"Surgical Carpet Bombing"? This is a show of dominance, never forget that. The US could have taken the posisition that this was an unfortunate war and gone about it in a much more subtle manner than the Hollywoodization currently unfolding. The delight in weaponry (see cnn.com for 3D models of both the F 177A and the Tomahawk ) is characteristic of the need to strut before the world the latest developments of Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and feel like the swollen, engorged testes of an infantryman making a port call after being at sea for weeks What do you think the purpose for war is? Beat them but make sure their self-esteem is left intact? Dude, you have no idea. The idea of war is to DESTROY your enemies, not scare them. Sheesh! The more we can "shock and awe", the better chance we have of destroying our enemy's will to fight, making the job of our infantry easier.

RobBob Posted March 21, 2003 Author Share Posted March 21, 2003 jordop, the only part of what you said that I can relate to is the need to climb. BUT the need to climb is closely related to the need to achieve...the need to succeed...the need to CONQUER!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about feeling good about yourself and helping others feel good about themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
