Air Support to Ground Troops Re: Arguments for ground war

[Hakki Alacakaptan]

As Carrol Cox said, there is no point in playing back seat generals here.
Killing already starving Afghans from the air or from the ground for
allegedly harboring the 9-11 perps while the Saudis and the Pakis continue
to aid and abet said perps with impunity is a grotesque crime against
humanity. Some people here would like to see U.S. corpses added to the body
count as an object lesson for the establishment, the flag-waving crowds, or
whatever. I urge these folks to reconsider what they are asking for: The
pointless deaths of working-class grunts   as a demonstration that their
deaths were pointless.

There's only one thing you can say that makes sense: Stop this shit now!
