No shit.

Smartest, quickest, cheapest, safest way for our troops is: to totally demolish the enemy with no concern whatsoever for "collateral damage" or any of that bullshit. You show the enemy that you are crazy, you mean business, and all niceties and caring and humanity and love for the innocent are safely hidden away under lock and key right now.

If they think you CARE, they will be emboldened and take advantage. Once they know you don't give a fuck and will wantonly erase them with fire, once you show them unambiguously who is boss, that's when they get scared and start listening to the boss.

Then, once unconditional surrender is achieved among those still living (say, in about two weeks), we use a tiny fraction of the money we would have spent on playing footsie for 20 years to rebuild them a little and help them see the light of not fucking with us ever again, or they'll get fucking annihilated again.

NEVER ENGAGE IN A FAIR FIGHT.

INSTEAD GO IN WITH OVERWHELMING, TOTALLY UNFAIR ADVANTAGE, AND USE IT TO COMPLETELY MELT THE ENEMY AND THEIR HARDWARE AND INFRASTRUCTURE, AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. JUST OBLITERATE AND GET THE FUCK OUT.

Yup. I'm all for dropping absurd amounts of leaflets informing the population of EXACTLY what is going to happen if they do not redress their government.

When they don't, start vaporizing one city per week and dropping more leaflets on the next cities telling them of what's happening and which city was just vaporized. It won't take long till their military realizes if they don't turn on their government then all their loved ones are next.

When they realize they will be vaporized and there is literally nothing they can do about it to save their lives and the lives of their loved ones other then turn on their government it turns into a great motivator to turn on their government.

It would cost far fewer lives overall to vaporize a medium city or two then to start a long drawn out ground war that's going to see those cities shelled into husks with mass deaths anyway. At least being vaporized by a nuke is far faster a death then being firebombed and burning to death or starved to death.
