Top U.S. general slams idea of carpet bombing ISIS - CNNPolitics.com

General McFarland set the standard. His expectations for the United States and it's military members in his recently released statement regarding our participation in war are top notch. His entire speech is quotable showing that the U.S. should not stoop to levels of indiscriminate bombing as Russia has. "At the end of the day, it doesn't only matter whether or not you win, it matters how you win," He criticized "carpet bombing" as a method of defeating ISIS, saying that
"We are the United States of America, and you know we have a set of guiding principles and those affect the way we, as professional soldiers, airmen, sailors marines conduct ourselves on the battlefield." He made no mention of politicians in his speech however in December, Ted Cruz said that his military approach to ISIS would be "carpet bombing." "we will utterly destroy ISIS. We will carpet bomb them into oblivion. I don't know if sand can glow in the dark, but we're going to find out."
