I was hoping SAF would send a regiment of boots-on-the-ground too. No guts, no glory! Look at our fine troops!
Once they are in captivity, they will be thinking how they are going to die, by decapitation, explode into pieces, death by immolation, drowning etc... they will wish they rather die in battle.
After China destroys ISIS, we will turn our attention to the Pinoys and end their illegal occupation of the South China seas.
Its all about rules of engagement. The US have to fight with a set of rules of engagement dictated by public opinions and western sensitivities. Its like having one hand tied behind their backs in a boxing match. The Chinese will have no such rules and no such qualms. E.g. The US will not drop a 2000lb PGM on a mosque full of worshippers even if there were 10 IS leaders in the mosque praying with hundreds of other worshippers. The Chinese don't have this problem, and probably not the Russians either.
Cheap talk only! I would rather you send your sons and nephews!
