They capture and kill one of our men and then parade the body down the street, we kill 10 of their men we hold as prisoners. The only thing that would stop these ragheads is a superior force dedicated to the entire destruction of their way of life. That is the only deterrent that will stop these fanatics, you make the cost to them of "jihad" too high to continue, just like we did the Japanese. All of this said, I'm not advocating nukes.


While i don't disagree in theory. You do realize this policy has been used since recorded history. The 1930 & 1940 era Germans honed this to an art.
