Re: Haditha masscre US soldier gets 3 months prison for killing 24 unarmed civillians
I’m the first one to criticize America but you’re delusional if you think that they used their full military potential in attacking Afghanistan and Iraq. They deployed soldiers to try to minimize civilian casualties, and to save money (soldier is cheaper than a bomb). Also, even the Americans would have a hard time selling the public on the idea of bombing entire countries back to the stone age.
In short, they didn’t use their full potential because it would have been mindlessly destructive.
