    What part of:

    Strategic bombing is a military strategy used in a total war with the goal of defeating an enemy nation-state by destroying its economic ability and public will to wage war rather than destroying its land or naval forces. It is a systematically organized and executed attack from the air which can utilize strategic bombers, long- or medium-range missiles, or nuclear-armed fighter-bomber aircraft to attack targets deemed vital to an enemy’s war-making capacity.

    Do you not understand?

    Bombing of off-shore oil rigs, is strategic bombing.


  • I would vote for the entire Italian army….not specific men of that army, mind you, but the entire command structure as well as the fact they were effectively fighting with spears and rocks against the Allies. You know you have a problem when the enemy targets YOUR armies because THEY know it is the weak link.

    Truthfully, Germany would have been better off if Italy had remained a non-participating Ally in the war…


  • Hehe - good point Miami
    No one had mentioned the Italians in this thread yet
