| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | We need to build up the troops and support. Remember, we did this once before during Desert Shield/Storm. It takes time to get everything in place - we need to do this once and GET IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Oct. 00 | A few things... 1. This will not be a draft war unless things change a lot. A war with specific targets like this requires specially trained forces, not sheer manpower. 2. This will be even more 'clean' than desert storm. Considering the rough terrain, there will be more air opperations. 3. Calm down.  | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01 | Make no mistake about it, and please prepare for this, because we are all going to need to: THIS WILL NOT BE AS "CLEAN" AS THE GULF WAR! Keep in mind that during the Gulf War, Iraq INVADED Kuwait. This time, WE were "invaded." As a result, the President has even more support from the people than his father did. (Remember that "No blood for oil" bullshit and all those protestors who like to protest things on the weekday so they didn't have to go to work or school?) We cannot sit by an "relax" about this. Brave Americans will be lost during this war. But rest assured, we WILL be victorious and once again freedom will reign.  Thank you to all the brave volunteers who brought us all together as a country, and thank you to those of you brave soldiers who will fight and have fought for our country. We are a free people because of your efforts. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01 | I don't even understand why infantry troops need to be sent over there. It's not like we want to occupy "their" country. Any damage that needs to be done can be done with self guided weapons or aircraft. DasDoomper  | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Feb. 01 | Massive amounts of manpower aren't necesary. In my opinion and from what I've read of history, the best thing would be a strategic bombing of the necesary installations and large special forces operations against specific targets & personages. I know it's easy to be an arm-chair general, but there's my 2 cents. Is my train in vain, has my soul gone to waste Am I just a victim of, a victim of my lost faith | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | I hate to say it but ground forces WILL be necessary, there are very few places where bombing will be effective, due to the fact that they have no centralized army, and government. WHat they do have is over 6 million guerrillia fighters who would rather die than give up a cowardly prick. I dont think desert storm applies, i think this will be more of a vietnam type deal, but in the end we will win because we are strong and we are just | ||||
Nay. We are but men. ROCK. The man with the plan. | posted on 09-15-2001 @ 7:34 PM | | |||
| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | Well, it's not quite as bad as Vietnam. No jungle to hide in, just sand dunes. At least Pakistan is on our side.... that's REALLY good news...  | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01 | You also have to take into account the topology of Afghanistan. It's basically a mountainous desert. We'll go in and get these fucking jawas, but it will very, very likely take the use of ground troops, and of special forces units. You can sit there and level those mountains out if you want, but that doesn't mean that you're going to get the little bastards when they're hiding down in underground caves and bunkers (please refer to Vietnam and Iraq). This is also an excuse to go into Iraq. It would not at ALL be surprising if they didn't send ground troops in to go get Saddam Hussein and take him out as well. They are planning a whole bunch of stuff here, and it will probably make more sense to us all in retrospect. It's going to be a new kind of war, that's for sure, just like the Gulf War was, but the casualties will undoubtedly be higher in this war. I was checking out vote.com because they were having a vote on whether people supported the use of ground troops. Eighty-eight percent to 12 percent is the current tally. People are pissed, and they will support whatever is required to rid us of this terrorist blight. Who wants to bet that Barbara Lee (D) of California won't be re-elected next year? Not generally a good idea to be the "1" in a 420-1 house vote to give the President the authority to commit troops to this latest effort. People were STILL having their anti-Gulf War voting records brought up in just the last election, so I think this chick's gone ;) Thank you to all the brave volunteers who brought us all together as a country, and thank you to those of you brave soldiers who will fight and have fought for our country. We are a free people because of your efforts. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | I'm sensing an uneasiness amongst many of you in using ground troops. I'm sorry kids but the sterile wars of the past isn't going to work here. And don't count on Pakistan cooperating much. They are agreeing to cooperate now to keep from being a target. That will change. India and Pakistan will not work together, and we will back India. Ground troops will be necessary. We will have to occupy these countries to force a change in their policies. The death of Hitler did not end the Nazi mindset. Occupation of Germany forced a move twoards democracy. The joint occupation by Russia led to a communist government in East Berlin. Get used to this being a real and long war. We will not see the boys home in time for Christmas. Remember, this is not a video game war. Pressing reset will not make the game end just to start over when you want to. Before you meet Allah, get ready to meet some good old American whoop ass. Pennsylvania resident, but original NYC listener. This message was edited by o&aswallow on 9-15-01 @ 8:32 PM | ||||
