re: I appreciate who is disrupting supplies.

And to tell the truth, I don't think what we did in World War II is pertinent except as an example of what we ought not to do now based on what we learned then.

True enough. The parallels need to be examined on a case-by-case basis. However, I do often hear people making an issue about how WWII took less time than the war on terror (including the Afghanistan War). One reason for that may have been a tactical approach that included scorched-earth attacks and nuclear weapons.

As I've said before, the major consequence of a "kinder, gentler war" is a lot fewer civilians dead, but a lot more of our troops.
