Napalm has been banned by the UN I believe, as... what was it... Inhumane.

I haven't read as much into this war as past wars, and for me warfare is not something it should be, a game. A simple matter of chess, and redleg considering you have been in combat please take no offense to that statement. I have heard of the horrors from as far back as Vietnam from uncles and family friends.

Now I want to point out here what attrition warfare is: (not the best website but good for a quick def.)

Attrition warfare is a military tactic in which a belligerent attempts to win a war by wearing down its enemy to the point of collapse through continuous losses in personnel and material. The war will usually be won by the side with greater such resources.[1] The Vietnam War is typically used as the primary example of a war of attrition: American strategy was to wear down the enemy until it lost its "will to fight."

Nex, what is this war about? How would you judge it to be a win? Feel free to be as specific or as vague as you like. Also, what is the highest level of command for the war?

This war about... Iraqi freedom, The war on terror, The war for black gold, I dont know. To me it's a stupid decision that wasn't thought through. How to win, thats something I can't help with, I don't know enough about our current military in Iraq. But If we were to go ahead and forget our pride for a bit just pull out and let other countries handle it for now. I don't know about east coast US but in Ca we have our own war going on with southern gangs moving in and northern gangs getting stronger.(This is just one small town and my neighborhood went from peaceful to a stabbing a week in only a couple months)

But a true answer to win this war we need to purge Iraq with a serious push of troops. Send more men over there and push through every section of every city confiscating weapons and hazardous material. Once a city is clean get a guard on it and allow it to build up its own police force to protect itself then move to the next city. It will take a while and might be deadly but it will end the war for sure. After we pull out each city will have it's own police and military forces for defense and we can leave knowing we have done something instead of sit outside the cities and go in occasionally on routine patrols.

As for you RedLeg, field arty huh? Sounds fun what was the biggest bang for you buck when it comes to arty.
