    Yeah we just knew we couldn’t level the mountains without coming off as the warmongering aggressors we are.

    If we let go of all rules for war we would have just carpet bombed the entire place until everyone was dead.

    But because civilians are a thing we (generally I’m not saying America is a good example of not committing war crimes) don’t do things like that.

      It doesnt help that even carpet bombing the mountains would be extremely ineffective. Those tunnels run deep man, deeper than anyone thinks. Now we’re wasting a lot more on bombs only to have them escape anyways.
