Retired Lt. Col. Ralph Peters said the plan for fighting war is “one, you accept that you are in a war. Two, you name the enemy: Islamist terrorists. Three, you get the lawyers off the battlefield and out of the targeting cell. You accept there will be collateral damage, and do you not apologize for it, you do not nation build. You don’t hold — try to hold ground. You go wherever in the world the terrorists are and you kill them. You do your best to exterminate them, and then you leave, and you leave behind smoking ruins and crying widows. If in five or ten years they reconstitute and you have got to go back, you go back and you do the same thing and you never never never send American troops into a war you don’t mean to win.” And “be as merciless as the enemy, if you’re not willing to do that, they will win.”

When asked about how to deal with state sponsors of terrorism, he argued “we have 2,000 years of recorded history of religious insurgencies, the only thing that has worked in 2,000 years is killing them. Now, as far as countries that don’t want to play ball, very simple. Pakistan doesn’t want to crack down on the Haqqani Network, we tell them ‘we are going to go in and take them out, and if you get in our way, we are going to smack your military down’…in a war you fight to win, you don’t worry about political correctness.

The jihadis will do anything to win, and we’re worried about our table manners.

I watched an interview with Bruce Lee a few years ago on TV. He talked about how the goal of combat is not to kick the shit out of the other person and just inflict endless pain...it's to end the conflict as soon as possible.

Same concept applies to war. Go in, do what you have to do to win, and come home ASAP. Fighting half-ass wars where you try to cherry pick targets and try not to do too much damage...that'd be like the Packers trying to limit the yardage Aaron Rodgers throws for today in an effort to not offend the Cowboys. Just plain idiotic.

‘IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOU’RE WILLING TO WALK FOR, BUT WHAT YOU’RE WILLING TO FIGHT FOR’ – COL. PETERS

Retired Lt. Col. Ralph Peters absolutely pilloried the feel-good Paris “Unity Rally” that took place by addressing the failure of Europe to actually act and fight against the Islamist aggression, rather than make some silly protest statement.

Unfortunately it's just a matter of time before we are the cushion.
We will be reactive instead of proactive .

Sadly I think we are already the cushion. It’s been that way since the end of WWII.

“YESTERDAY PRESIDENT OBAMA CHOSE THE SIDE OF THE TERRORISTS”

Calling Obama a physical, moral, and intellectual coward for not going to the France ‘Unity Rally’ with other world leaders, Ralph Peters passionately argued that “passivity in the face of terror is complicity” and that yesterday Obama “chose the side of the terrorists.”

Peters goes on to point out how difficult it will be for historians to explain Obama’s behavior, saying you can explain it to a point but then you’re just in the “twilight zone.”

First Peters criticizes the rally then he criticizes Obama for not going to the rally that, in his own opinion, isn't worth a shit. He's shithead enough to be a good politician himself.
