Platforms like the AC-130 exist to make sure no American poet ever has to write a poem like that about our boys.

Do you not realize that both my quote and yours were made by the British merchantilists during their empire days of mass killing every place they went to exploit? It wasn't about trade with these people, it was about going there, killing them, and stealing their stuff.
My point wasn't about fair fights, I'd agree with you if the US military was about defending America, but alas, it is not about defending America at all. If it were, Mexican thugs wouldn't be
overrunning National Guardsmen along our borders.
