If you could pull your head out of your ass for just a sec. The US has spent billions of dollars to buy the most advanced precision guided bombs to try to avoid collateral damage caused in order to reduce the amount of civilian deaths.Originally posted by MunchiesYou know what does the US do when their base gets mortar shelled? they track the place, and send their artillery firing for a good amount of time to make sure everything's dead, they dont even stop to see if the mortars are in a populated area. When they detect insurgent action they send their F15s to bomb it, and the bombs stray a good amount off their direction so they send alot more than one and again, not caring if the place is populated, they use their heavy chopper gunships for covering fire in the middle of a city, all that and they cant keep one street in their control. Need any more examples? the US may not like killing civilians but they certainly dont give a **** if it happens.
If they didn't give a **** about civilian deaths then why did they spend so much money to buy more accurate weapons?Comment

thats a good point, it would have been alot easier to just carpet bomb baghdadOriginally posted by thedudeIf you could pull your head out of your ass for just a sec.

of course there would be major objections from the international community if we did that so thats another factor.Comment

UN should come with a resolution to ban any usage of less precise weaponary in a war, so only those who can afford the expansive bombs like US is licenced to kill...Originally posted by thedudeIf you could pull your head out of your ass for just a sec.

Then even precision guided bombs make "mistakes" too, remember we dumped 5 smart bombs and missiles into Chinese embassy in Belgrade?Comment

There are always mistakes in war but my point is that the US made a very serious effort to try to avoid civilian casualites. But most mistakes that smart bombs make are usually a result of poor intelligence not the bomb actually going off course.Originally posted by PureBlueFlamesThen even precision guided bombs make "mistakes" too, remember we dumped 5 smart bombs into Chinese embassy in Belgrade?Comment

Im pretty sure we didnt spend billions of dollars researching and developing smart bombs that could make..."mistakes"...

I'm not surprised... our soldiers have been dying for years now.Originally posted by MunchiesI respect the troops but I dont respect the cause, but you have got to understand you cant go to a war and then be suprised when your soldiers die.
First you call the troops trigger happy, then you say that you respect them? That's something I don't understand.Comment
