There are no civilians in war

We are fighting a war for our freedom whether the left wants to believe it or not.  To fight a war you have to have the determination to win.  Our country for the last few years has shown no determination to attain real victory.  In war there have to be objectives and we have failed to support our troops when those objectives involve potential civilian casualties.  When someone uses the cover of a house or rooftop to kill our young men that house should be a target.  There are no real civilians in war as if they were against the aggressor they would be fighting on our side.  In WWII we had to bring the entire country of Germany to its knees by heavy bombing of civilian areas.  Same thing happened in Japan.  Without the Atomic bomb we would have had to attack Japan itself with the result being much higher casualties on both sides.  We have put our troops in an unattainable position in Afghanistan, moving them through enemy territory in broad daylight without air cover.  In WWII we would have saturation bombed the area before we ever sent our troops in. 

Just like in Germany and Japan, when the civilian population gets tired of the bombing they will push the terrorist out themselves.  When the population sits back and watches our troops being ambushed with IED’S and gives cover to the bombers they are not civilians.  All we have done is capitulate to the United Nations rules of engagement and when was the last time the U.N. won a war?  Has the world forgotten why we are in the area, have they forgotten the training camps that were flourishing in these civilian areas in Afghanistan, have they forgotten the end result of those camps when they attacked the World Trade Center in New York?  How many soldiers did they kill that day, if my memory serves me they killed over 3,000 peaceful civilians, mom’s, dad’s brothers and sisters who went to work that day not knowing they would never have a chance to say goodbye to their loved ones.  Just like the Boston Bombers there was no consideration for civilians.  If we are going to fight a war and this is a war, we should only commit troops when we have decided we are going to win.  The U.N. rules of engagement tie our hands and puts our military in a no win situation.  I for one am tired of having our kids maimed and killed while the population of the region laughs at our stupidity.

There are no civilians in war.
