Sun Tzu is laughing in his grave. I am ex military too and have the same conflict in philosophy but also the best tactic is to drop the sky on them without warning.
Nothing personal, but I don't believe in honor and fairness in war. No holds barred death and destruction on a scale that either wipes them from the earth or so completely annihilates them that they are rendered impotent.
And all that is very sad. War is hell and horror indeed, and it is worse when it just lingers on and on. The tragedy isn't dead talibani's or even so much dead americans, but dead children and families who don't really care who wins, they just want to live.
And telling the bad guys what our intentions are just helps to prolong the agony.
