Killing Japanese Didn't Bother Me Very Much

We're At War With Japan. We Were Attacked By Japan. Do You Want To Kill Japanese, Or Would You Rather Have Americans Killed?

Native Annalists May Look Sadly Back From The Future On That Period When We Had The Atomic Bomb And The Russians Didn't. Or When The Russians Had Aquired (through Connivance And Treachery Of Westerns With Warped Minds) The Atomic Bomb - And Yet Still Didn't Have Any Stockpile Of The Weapons. That Was The Era When We Might Have Destroyed Russia Completely And Not Even Skinned Our Elbows Doing It.

Today, Shooting Wars Are Won Or Lost Before They Start. If They Are Fought At All, They Would Be Fought Principally To Confirm Which Side Had Won At The Outset.

If You Kill Enough Of Them, They Stop Fighting.

My Solution To The Problem Would Be To Tell [the North Vietnamese Communists] Frankly That They've Got To Draw In Their Horns And Stop Their Aggression Or We're Going To Bomb Them Into The Stone Age. And We Would Shove Them Back Into The Stone Age With Air Power Or Naval Power - Not With Ground Forces.
