arch2B,
It was your use of the words "ass handed to us" that I take issue with. Yes we take the enemy can and always will inflict damage on us. ied's would be ineffective if we were fighting a war instead of hanging out like a police force. You never heard of ied's until after the war's end and the occupation began. If at war, we would sit back and pound the living hell out of the cities, not caring if any survived. Same goes for nam. Anytime we waged war and carpet bombed, they came running to the peace talks. When we stopped, they started fighting again. Look up Operation Linebacker.
As Britain learned many times, you will sustain constant losses when you occupy someone. Unless you remove or kill all locals, the enemy will always be able to kill your troops. Armies are not designed to be police forces, especially ours. We are designed to fight on the move against superior numbers and history has proven we are the best at that. We are the blitzkrieg now. History also shows we are not as effective we not allowed to use a combined arms doctrine like in Somalia. Our troops were denied the support of air and armor support because it might look bad. We lost 26 troops because of this, yet killed in the hundreds or thousands, completely surrounded.
I wasn't being a prick, just defending our service men and women from words that could influence people who will not take the time to fact check. Ass handed to us should be reserved for events like Pearl Harbor and 9/11. Other than those events, we have been handing out the asses for about 100yrs now.
