Why do Americans Attack in night??

The superpower is coward enough to attack the civilian and military targerts in night, even though they have the best of equipment, the best of experience, the top most moral..??

well yea military tactics and whatever.. maybe given as reason. but i find it very coward of Americans to attack in night…

Advantages of having night vision goggles?

shouldnt everyone try to save their asss first?

Psychological. Similar to the basic concepts and techniques of interrogation. Our planes fly higher than the best Iraqi anti-aircraft guns - visibility is not much of a danger.

hmm

  1. To avoid the possibility of civilians roaming around military and government targets during the day
  2. "Skies over Baghdad" looks spectacular only when done at night
  3. Utilize the night vision goggles advantage.. (the Russians are working to take that little pleasure away .. spoilsports)
  4. In case u haven't noticed Baghdad has a 9hr time diff so the boyz are still getting over the jet lag.

add more..

If you were a general

If you were a general, what would you do? Hmmm..let's see. Not a very hard question. You use every advantage you have.

and the the brave Iraqis beat the hell out of POWs and then show them on TV and we gloat.

RashGuy, it’s cool…it’s all part of this nasty business called war. It’s totally justified, in my opinion. Also, beatings are nothing…it can be much worse.

:bukbuk:

But think how you’d be outraged if the Iraqi’s were shown beaten on TV so the Hawks could gloat?

Some pretty strong statements from what I thought was pretty much a group of nonviolent people.

Like Bill Maher said "What's more cowardly, launching a cruise missile from 1000 miles away, or strapping a bomb to yourself and going directly for the target".

How sure are you that all those 5 were "beaten the hell out"? I think only 1 or 2 looked to have injuries on face, is it not possible that they resisted their arrest and got injured? Why did others not receive injuries if Iraqis did beat the hell out ? They looked fine, didn't they?

I agree, most looked totally fine to me. How do we even know if the ones that were shown dead didn't die resisting arrest?

Fret, media can twist images in a sec to suit their own purposes. I can't trust western media images unless they're from extremely reliable sources....and I have yet to encounter an extremely reliable source, sadly enough.

One reason that comes to my mind for attacking at night is:

People try to go to sleep, army will have to stay awake, how long can they remain awake? They will get tired soon (they think). The “allied” forces are in huge numbers, so its easier for them to rotate, only those in field (tanks and stuff) will be facing problems. perhaps night bombing will cause civilian uprising? :konfused:

Isn't it ironic that the "evil regime" has been telling the truth about the events of this war while the "liberators" haven't

yes, very ironic indeed.

This is war and anything which helps increasing the death toll on both sides is appreciated. Attacking at night is sort of "surprise tactics".

In a war you use whatever it takes to your advantage just like I would justify Saddam using WMD because he is defending his home.

but he doesn’t have WMD :nono:
