Germany didn't bring London to its knees in WW II with around the clock bombing. Instead the Brits maintained a stiff upper lip, continued to demand the unconditional surrender of Germany and dug in for the long haul building public underground bomb shelters and government command and control centers. Britain continued to make massive contributions to the war effort aimed at Germany while under constant bombardment. While the United States is stepping up its air campaign against the "Islamic State" targets, we can be sure that ISIS/IS is preparing to hide in prohibited targets such as schools, hospitals, and museums. ISIS/IS has also demonstrated, through their close cousins Hamas, the ability to skillfully build tunnels. In a matter of weeks air attacks no matter how frequent will start to become less productive in terms of destroying the "Islamic state's " military capacities.
Recently, retired U.S. Navy Admiral James Stavridis who is the former supreme allied commander of NATO talked with the media about U.S. air strikes and the probability of a need for "boots on the ground. You can watch the video interview by clicking on this link: Admiral Stavridis Comments on "Boots on The Ground". You'll note that the Admiral begins with ; "
"The Key over time Tom,..is boots on the ground."
The Admiral notes that the U.S. does plan to have boots on the ground but not U.S. boots. He also acknowledges that it is going to take up to two years to train Arab allies to work on the ground with U.S. air cover. We urge our readers to watch the linked video interview: Admiral Stavridis Comments on "Boots on The Ground".
