If we could bomb them into submission we wouldn't have to send the grunts in or it'll be a lot easier for them. That is the logic I assumeS3v3N wrote:

How many of those multi billion dollar stealth bombers used in Iraq and Afghan?
Plus look at those juicy fat government contracts to build those shiney jets.
I said that is their logic, I didn't subscribe to it.S3v3N wrote:

While I would agree that we definitely need to supply our soldiers with better body armor and give them better benefits/pay (no soldier should have a family on welfare, it's a fucking disgrace), I will say that one form of technology is worth the money....S3v3N wrote:

Drones.
We do actually use drones quite well in Afghanistan and we even used them a few times in Iraq as well (I'm pretty sure). The ideal would be scenario where we have minimal infantry with a mostly drone military.
Imagine how cool it would be to win wars with only losing a very small amount of our people (a few dozen or so).
We can't bomb countries any more because then it cost too much to rebuild them.
