I sense that there aren’t a lot of grains left at this point, and it’s starting to get a bit chilly out… ---

I’ve seen far too many Americans take the attitude that non-American lives are worth nothing to consider that an inherently troll position. Far too many would quite cheerfully have killed every living thing in China for daring to oppose God’s Chosen People, the Americans. ---

> [@Should nuclear weapons have been used on China during Korean War?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/should-nuclear-weapons-have-been-used-on-china-during-korean-war/635476/105): > > The firebombing campaign against Japan in 1945 was very effective. Millions of people injured and homeless put a serious drain on their war effort. Thousands of industrial establishments were destroyed which cut production to a level below subsistence. And the bombing also weakened civilian morale. > > The same could have been done to China. If 300 B-29’s dropped 1,000 tons of incendiary bombs on Beijing and burned the city to the ground, then the Chinese would realize that they should pull out of the war. You’re a troll. Not even a particularly good one. Notice how you avoid actually answering the question but use it as an opportunity to make another incendiary (ha!) comment on how many Asians we should have set on fire. The fact that strategic bombing has never been able to force anyone to quit any war is quite well known, as the number of replies to that effect demonstrates. One would assume someone who actually was an officer in a USAF Strategic Missile Wing in the 1980s would be aware of that. Perhaps you should go back to harping about being forced to deport all the Muslims from the country. ---

> [@Ibn\_Warraq](#): > > Do you think anyone believes your claims about commanding a USAF missile wing in the 1980s? Squadron, not wing. That would be a bit too obvious, I think. But yeah, my thought when he mentioned that was, “Oh, really? Was that before or after you were a Navy SEAL?”\* \*speculation; AFAIK he hasn’t claimed to be a Navy SEAL. Yet.
