But the American self-conception makes it hard to justify a punitive operation as a resolve-showing-measure. We *do* lots of punitive operations, but we have to call them something else, or pretend they're actually intended to alter behavior or deter or what have you.
One wonders if perhaps we'd have been more honest w/ ourselves if we admitted at the outset that we were just going to take revenge on the Taliban by doing lots of violence to them for a period of 10-20 years instead of imagining we were going to liberalize&modernize Afghanistan.
Idk, but I highly recommend Wes Morgan's new book on the Pech Valley to explore the questions of who exactly we were fighting there and what the reasoning was.
Yeah, for sure. To be fair, old-fashioned imperial punitive expeditions tended not to care very much who the destruction fell on. One thing I note to students is that the Romans generally declared war on *peoples* rather than states.
