Look up "highway of death" then report back.
War is brutal and the idea is to win at all costs. That's just the way it is.
Killing enemy soldiers, even from afar, is not indecent and certainly not uncivilized, no matter how defenseless they are. Torturing captured enemy soldiers, criminals or whoever
is indecent and uncivilized no matter how you rationalize it. The sole super power of this world should not need to use such methods to win against third-world nations or a ragtag band of terrorists. Every time I visit this forum and read opinions like yours I'm reminded of just how completely the terrorists have won. Hitler couldn't do it. Hirohito couldn't either. Nor could the once mighty Soviet Union. But a small band of determined fanatics have managed to turn most Americans into a fearful heard of sheep, obsessed with protecting themselves from an almost negligible threat to their lives; now willing to become monsters and drag the rest of their nation down with them. Congrats Osama.
