do u believe that US will fight next war in'' brute force ''
like WW 2 and Korean war?
Reason: Running out of precision bombs.

US military would have to rely on "brute force" in a second war:
general

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The US military would have to rely more on
"brute force" if faced with another major war because precision
weapons and the systems to support them are tied down in
Iraq, the top US general said.
General Peter Pace, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said
the United States has enormous untapped air and naval power
available, as well as ground forces already in theater, if war were
to break out on the Korean peninsula.
"Now, it would be more brute force, wherever we might have to go
next, than it would be if we weren't already involved in the war we
have going on in Iraq and Afghanistan," he said.
"Why? Because you need precision intelligence to drop
precision munitions. And a lot of our precision intelligence assets
are currently being used in the Gulf region," he said.
Precision weapons also are being used in Iraq and Afghanistan,
which means that
commanders in a second theater might have to rely more on unguided
"dumb bombs," he said.
"So you end up with more collateral damage. You end up more like a
World War II, Korean War campaign," he said.
"That's not predictive," he added. "I'm just saying that, on a
scale, you're going to have to use more brute force to get the job
done."
Tensions with
North Korea have sharpened since it tested a nuclear weapon for the
first time October 7. It also tested a long-range ballistic missile
capable of hitting the United States on July 4-5, but the test
failed.
The United States has relied on diplomacy in dealing with North
Korea, marshalling international support for sanctions to pressure
Pyongyang into giving up its nuclear ambitions.
Pace said the North Koreans "have not raised or lowered any
particular parts of their (military) readiness to cause any kind of
alarm."
"What is not knowable is the intent of the leadership in North
Korea to use or not use that power at any given time," he said.
"And applying western logic to the leadership in Korea is not
something that I would personally want to bet my future on."

Pace answers questions...
2.Ha?Really a paper tiger without enough precision bombs??
so the next ''invaded country'' by US will be very bloody.
3.So
Sg really need to make more precision bombs
Precision Strike
Precise fire-power is the key to success in the new battlefield. ST
Engineering designs, manufactures and integrates precision strike
sub-systems such as flight control units, warheads and propulsion
units (rocket motors). ST Engineering also specialises in design
and production of smart medium calibre weapon systems capable of
delivering
precise air-burst munitions.
Together with our technology collaborators, our focus in precision
strike includes areas such as systems engineering, design and
development of guidance and navigation control systems, and
simulation studies.
