but i wasnt talking about ww2 or ww1 - it was the cuban missile stuff - and kennedy happened to use the blockadeOriginally posted by JONNO_CELEBS@1 February 2004 - 22:38
What would have happend if we had blockaded in WW2?
We did, but at some point you have to advance, if you just sit there and wait for the enemy , sooner or later they will break thru, the best tactic is to blockade your turf, and flank with an attack once the enemy is in, that way it will just be a slaughter.
If we had not have advanced in WW2 then Hitler would have marched over us, it's not easy to blockade the air.
Retaliation is the only option in war, either that or a pre emptive attack before the enemy gets a chance (eg: The recent Iraq campaigne)
I don't like fighting or war, but those that do and are power hungry will not sit at a table with a cuppa tea and talk, they want to fight and the only way to stop them is to fight fire with fire.
And Maggie Thatcher thought like that, hard faced bitch would retaliate at the drop of a hat.
