No he doesn't just wanna target families, he wants to bomb the kitten out of ISIS, that is a direct quote. But that's no good unless their headquarters are in the desert or something. They blend in with the crowd, and they have slaves and hostages. Ntm, ISIS is a group that is spread -not gathered in one spot. Bomb one place you kill 100 people and 10 of them are terrorists..
US has been bombing the kitten out of terrorists(some that they trained) for decades. What good did that do? But it killed a lot of innocent blood which is unforgivable to me. So besides being a human being it is a useless and expensive thing to do.
But I fail to see reason behind killing familymembers of terrorists. Forget that they are actually innocent, what kind of strategy is that?
Then what would be your approach? Bombing won't work, true. To defeat ISIS you'd need boots on the ground and tanks, but the EU and other countries are still going to kitten and complain about that, too, saying we're being too hostile towards these countries. Like anyone in the U.S would really care.
It's family members who encourage these "people" to become terrorists, or don't bother to stop them. By attacking their families, you're preventing other terrorists from coming from the same gene pool, and it gives these terrorists something else to think about other than dying for the sake of their "religion" and I use that word very lightly. Cult is a better word for Islam.
To defeat ISIS, political correctness needs to be thrown in the trash can. Hillary Clinton won't even address ISIS by what they are, Islamic Terrorists, which means she could never defeat the. It's not what Trump says, it's a basic rule of warfare. In order to defeat your enemy you need to at the very least be able to call them what they are. And Hillary can't seem to pull that off. Let alone Obozo.
Civilian casualties are going to happen in a war. It's an ugly reality, but there's no getting around it. The fact ISIS uses their own people as human shields doesn't help, so what are you going to do?
These terrorist organizations cannot stand up to the west and its superior military strength. If you want to get rid of ISIS, people are going to have to grow a pair, and man up. There are two possible ways of dealing with ISIS, and either one is going to inflict civilian casualties. It's a rule of war.
1) Starve them out. Block all trade with other countries, bomb their farmland, and continue to attack convoys carrying supplies. It's a slower way to kill them off, but it's effective.
2) Full military occupation. Infantry, tanks, artillery, and naval support from the Mediterranean. Put enough troops on the ground that ISIS constantly has their hands full trying to hold their ground...which they won't.
Oh, and you can prevent Muslims from entering your countries, too. Eastern Europe isn't letting them in, so why does Western Europe have to, as well as the U.S? ISIS will hide in the crowds and kill as many people as they can, which is why Trump wants to put a TEMPORARY ban on Muslims from entering the U.S. It's not the first time its happened, either. You should read about Carter and what he did.
