| #5 On that Heckmar all the sudden announcing on air he is willing to lay down arms? I wonder if that HVT capture everyone was wondering about earlier in the week was Heckmar? We did a very simular think to General Sanchez in the Texas Revolution. Would be better than killing him outright and having all his crew fall under AQ leadership this way those guys would lay down it would just be a matter of keeping Hecmkmar either in Prison or maybe in Kabul under house arrest. |

| #1 This is how you win wars. If the enemy claims big border we can't control see everything, then I say we play just as dum and our troops just cross back and forth with a denial we didn't do it and if caught a well its a big border we got lost. accident sorry you understand right. We got stealth bombers no reason we can't bomb deep penetration targets deny we did it and say maybe it was a Jihadi that just got a little too excited. |
