Guys aren't we progressing too slow?
Yes I'm ware of more lives lost if we go too fast because it's terrorists.
But I think a better strategy would be to secure a drop zone very close to Afrin using commando's and intelligence, then para-drop thousands of soldiers and equipment there.
Then use these soldiers/equipment and fighter jets to take over Afrin very fast. While we still do what we are doing now.
I mean the resistance would be less if we had already taken over Afrin and were advancing as we are now.
There is a reason why the US drove with tanks to Baghdad fast, you get the center enemy loses the will to fight.
We could easily do this, it's not a banana republic it's TURKEY we are talking about.
We need better military strategists that's for sure, especially in a politically sensitive campaign such as this one. The longer it takes the more difficult it becomes for Turkey, time is against us.
Look at this latest map of territorial gains:
Looks like less than 10% in 10 days, and we all know it will take longer to take Afrin.
So we going to spend over 6 months just for this small piece of land with all the political pressure going on?
It's not even funny, how long will it then take to take the rest of North Syria?
50 years?
I know many of you are proud of what we are doing including myself, but time to face reality. We could do much better than this, like I said we are not a banana republic, it's time we act like TURKEY.
Yey 1000th post, give me a cake.
