I remember there being a lot of targets being destroyed during the first few weeks of OIF. We seemed to be fighting and killing like a proper war machine. I dont know what the whack a mole deployments were like. But during the first few weeks of OIF, we were very effective with air power.
I have a bud who was on the ground for a few deployments in Iraq. A few people in his unit cut off the heads of the enemy and left death cards in the necks.
We have the capability to be pretty gnarly as American war fighters, our leaderhip at the Civilian level wont let that happen on a massive scale like the Russians will.
If we get attacked on American soil, we will either fight together or we will have a civil war. That's what really bothers me.
