Now my problem with his statement is fact that if carpet bombing goes America's values then tell me about the massive amount of civilian deaths that continue incur as a result of America's aggressive wars and bombs. Lets not forget with America's help Saudi Arabia is literally wiping Yemen off the map and every presidential candidate is vowing to drop bombs on Iran.

Goes....against? Seems like you have a word missing.

So, indiscriminate bombing, where we don’t care if we’re killing innocents or combatants, is just inconsistent with our values.

And

every presidential candidate is vowing to drop bombs on Iran.

Are you sure?

Carpet bombing hasn't been done in many years. The bombing they've done recently has been via drones.

Doesn't this belong in the ISIS thread?

To make the title clearer, if it does need its own thread, the headline was:

Top U.S. General Calls Carpet Bombing ISIS ‘Inconsistent With Our Values'

I'm not sure why you changed it.

Nevertheless, have America's values really been far as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

I've either forgotten how to read or that just carpet bombed my head. Figuratively speaking.

That's the distilled essence of OP's OPs right there.

I was already vulnerable, yes.

And

Heh, I read that as "Lt. General Seth MacFarlane".

Smash-cut to non-sequitur of Peter Griffin dropping Turkish carpets onto insurgents.

Funny story - I once had a dentist named Peter Griffin. He misdiagnosed a tooth condition and I had to have half my jaw reconstructed.

Now, that's comedy!

Is this supposed to be a generalized hot take? I'm lost as to what OP is implying. Yemen is unstable but it won't be the Saudis destroying it if Iran makes it into it's satellite proxy.

Jeezus, spin this thread my head is making.

I'm pretty sure there isn't a country in the world which doesn't say one thing whilst doing something incompatible.
