| Military arson is a great example. Conflagration has been successfully implemented against enemies since, well before, the sentence: '...like a madman hurling firebrands, arrows and death...' was ever uttered. A firebrand is a stick with a flaming top. The arrows spoken of were tar or pith coated arrows shot inside of fortifications, to set them ablaze. Death referred to potted death. These were clay pots filled with all sorts of flammable and spreading substances. It was known as death because if the goop attached to a human, that human would immolate. These tactics were highly effective in displacing, removing, and killing enemies. Bombs are orders of magnitude more effective. The comment and ensuing discussion was about enemies upon the shores of the US, and whether or not the US Military and US Citizenry would utilize bombs on its own lands. Certainly. Absolutely. Without hesitation. Bombs work. Bombs work well. Bombs have exceedingly high return value on their production and use, compared to boots. Boots are costly. Bombs... Not as much. |
