#3 Nice pics, JF.
The indian habit of putting whacked jihadis on display is actually a good idea, though it would seem unlikely to be adopted anytime soon by a modern western army.
The jihad wannabes and cheerleaders have an harder time arguing their Boyz are tearing the unmanly kufrs to pieces, when the ragtag, lice-ridden bodies of their heroes are laid for everybody to see, along with the captured weaponry.
In some way, the US equivalent is the release either by the soldiers or by the army of "kinetic responses" on insurgents-occupied building.
Still, this has not the same "de-glamourizing" effect, just check on livebreak : for each such vid, you've got comments by the anti-US/pro-jihadis crowd, arguing that the building was full of civilians, that the US or western soldier (for afghanistan) can't fight and has to hide behind planes, etc, etc... |
