I know because there hasn't been a single report of a conventional soldier dying.

There have been a few special operations KIAs in the past year...but that's it.

All of them are reported.

In other words you don't know because you have just been extremely ignorant, to the point where you have purposefully ignored articles from the middle east that showed how many people have died.

I haven't ignored a single article.

I'm stating that there are no more conventional KIAs.

Therefore, anyone can reasonably deduce that terrorism on a conventional warfighting level no longer exists.

FUCK.

The UN has one of those...

Also, airstrikes are not conventional warfighting.

@fannybandit A fallacy I see, you ignore the evidence and just claim "B-BUT IT IS JUST PROPAGANDA!".

They're called in by special operations.

I'm not saying that it's propaganda, I'm saying that it doesn't constitute conventional warfighting whatsoever.

I wouldn't go around using that as a credible source, even if it is, it only proves my point.

Conventional warfare is dead.

Four soldiers...all with no names...

And yes, airstrikes are a conventional form of warfare, it has been for 100 years now.

Why would a terrorist cell purposefully give out the names of their soldiers in a guriella resistance movement?

Also...if this was true...how would this be conventional?

It's not conventional when special operations calls it in.

You know,we won't come to you.
You have to come to us.

@fannybandit It is conventional, because it has been used in conventional warfare for over 100 years, with battles being assited by planes.

Who is special operations? Last I knew, al-shabab was an entrance of ISIS into somalia, which cannot realistically be stopped, because there has been no government in somalia for several decades.

@Krokodilanto Who are you and who are you talking to?

@Deleted User I'm talking about how it's used...not what it is.

I'm speaking to whoever's listening

That determines whether it's conventional or not.

@Krokodilanto Why would anyone come to you?

Not me

Us

Who's "us"?

@fannybandit Planes that drop bombs on people, or get into dogfights with other planes, what is non conventional about it? Does it has to be a rugged soldier with a gun in hand to be conventional for you?

We're talking about airstrikes being called in by special operations...not dog-fighting.

Context is everything.

@Krokodilanto You're being creepy...which explains why this person in question isn't coming to you.

@Krokodilanto How would someone come to you?

@fannybandit Hold it there pal, don't play your mental gymnastics with me, you have claimed that these have been nonconventional for an extremely long time now, as well as that, a US soldier in the US who calls in an airstrike is not at all unconventional, they are not DELTA force or a CIA cell, they are regular soldiers, same goes for syria, turkey, and iraq.

@Krokodilanto Tell your people to send someone who's more competent.
