Landlmines suck

That's why we put civilians in charge of the military

Yes they do but that does not change the fact they are a valuable battlefield weapon.

More reason why civilians rule over the military

The military does not have to deal with the political ramifications of maimed children

No they have to deal with life and death on the battlefield and if your a smaller force in a defensive position landmines can valuable in helping you stay alive.

When was the last time the US "needed" landmines?

 

[HenryBHough]

All we need is to send out troops on bicycles armed with golf clubs.

See, no boots on the ground and no dangerous weapons.

He cares more about the welfare of the enemy than his own troops.

I guess if terrorists want to ban IEDs we could take landmines off the table. See how that works Obama?

If our people need to mine an approach to a Remote Base in enemy territory, then they should be able to use them.

What next?

Land based operations, anything that can possibly harm anyone and winning. Anything that could possibly result in winning this illegal, poorly thought out war he started is off the table.

 

[Lakhota]

Land mines are a barbaric legacy of past wars. Many innocent civilians, including children, are killed and maimed by them during and after the conflict is over.

Poison gas, biological weapons, flame throwers all help you win in war

They are banned for humanitarian reasons

Poison gas is an effective tool also.....we don't use that either

So are mortars, artillery, tanks, RPG, and missiles which can and do kill and maim innocent people all of which we do use.

War is Hell.........Landmines are part of that Hell............They can be used to beef up defenses on bases............

I don't agree with all these dang rules for Wars..............ROE's that handcuffs our people into losing Wars.

The object of War is to kill the enemy. Land mines do just that.

You should ask and Afghanistan or Iraq combat veteran I'm pretty sure they could answer that for you.

Yeah, we really kicked ass in Viet Nam - thanks to landmines.

We lost Vietnam because of people like you. PC mentality and lines not to be crossed. aka We didn't fight a War but a police action. Instead of rolling north and taking North Vietnam with massed armies. They had a top troop strength of around 250k once during the War. There was no way in hell they could have stopped us.

Politicians lose the Wars.....Not the troops.

When war, which is predicated on killing people becomes humanitarian you let me fucking know. Until then the only thing I give a shit about is winning and winning means by whatever means necessary you kill every last fucking enemy soldier you can by any means necessary.

If you want humanitarian go volunteer for bingo night at a retirement home. Stay out of the war business you don't have the balls for it.
