U.S. Military Taught Officers ‘Hiroshima’ Tactics for ‘Total War’ on Islam

[hunter_hunted]

Now I know how director of the movie THE SALT came up with this idea

 

[Respect4Respect01]

Here's what would happen. Arabs would go blowing each other up. Pakistan would get mad and nuke India. India would return the favour.

stop bringing india in for no reason,

heres what would happen, all Muslim countries would get together and tear apart usa and its allies, and usa is already scared of Iran, they cant handle taliban, and im pretty sure they are scared of war now.

yet in this case the scenario specifically targeted Mecca and Medina with the intention that they were revered by Muslims..........................

So what?

If there is a military exercise about how to defeat terrorism, and someone says "Kill them all, and nuke Mecca while you are at it!", that does make NOT it an intention, but a point for discussion. The final answer will always be "No, we can't kill them all, and are you out of your mind to consider nuking Mecca?".

Then you move on the next scenario.

That course was not an incitement to hate; it was merely a war games course, as part of an ongoing process of theorizing different scenarios.

Don't be so quick to hate.

If it was merely a war games course( btw what kind of sick mind would theorize vaporizing Mecca and Medina ) he wouldnt be suspended from lecturing at the college

It was merely a course, and the suspension, while an investigation is done, shows that sanity still prevails. That is all.

This is quite a nasty thing to be taught in a military school.

But it is true that if US wishes, they could nuke Mecca and get away with it. Because Muslims don't have any weapon or nuke with delivery system by which they can target US. Maybe they will face some homegrown insurgency but that is it.

Check my other topic which reports about de-classified documents where US was preparing for a full-scale invasion of Saudi arabia in 1970s. Without the petrodollar agreement, we could be seeing Mecca/Medina nuked or destroyed in that invasion.

Maybe the petrodollar was for good after all.

This is what we should read in this report


Pentagon condemns 'war on Islam' US training class
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen Martin Dempsey, said the course was "totally objectionable" and "against our values".
The Voluntary course has now been suspended
He added that he had ordered a full investigation when the course was suspended in April after one of the students objected to the material.

WASHINGTON – A course for U.S. military officers has been teaching that America's enemy is Islam in general, not just terrorists, and suggesting that the country might ultimately have to obliterate the Islamic holy cities of Mecca and Medina without regard for civilian deaths, following World War II precedents of the nuclear attack on Hiroshima or the allied firebombing of Dresden.


"They hate everything you stand for and will never coexist with you, unless you submit," the instructor, Army. Lt. Col. Matthew Dooley, said in a presentation last July for the course at Joint Forces Staff College in Norfolk, Va. The college, for professional military members, teaches midlevel officers and government civilians on subjects related to planning and executing war.
Dooley also presumed, for the purposes of his theoretical war plan, that the Geneva Conventions that set standards of armed conflict, are "no longer relevant."

These Yankees are insane !!!

Or 13 years old a boy makes these plans ...

 

[Secur]

War games and theorizing are like that by definition. Anybody with even a small amount of faith would believe in the promise the Allah Himself protects Mecca and Medina. So what is the problem here?

Supporting even the heinous acts done by you country in the past !

Doesn't come as a surprise to me that you are doing it yet again ...

So what?

If there is a military exercise about how to defeat terrorism, and someone says "Kill them all, and nuke Mecca while you are at it!", that does make NOT it an intention, but a point for discussion.

Do you understand what even discussing such a scenario mean ?

Yes, very clearly, perhaps even more than you could ever suspect.
