@JuliaHB1@JohnRentoul erm, massive ground forces were engaged in WW2. It wasn't an air war. You need to brush up on your history, Julia. -
@mehdirhasan@JohnRentoul oh, sorry, what happened at Hiroshima and Nagasaki then? -
@JuliaHB1@JohnRentoul wow. You got me there. So is that the model for our intervention in Syria? Nuking? Is that your response? Seriously? -
@mehdirhasan@JohnRentoul stop being silly. I'm simply pointing out that the claim is false because sometimes bombing DOES win wars. -
@JuliaHB1@JohnRentoul and your example was a nuclear strike which followed four years of intense ground war. Poor. -
@mehdirhasan@JohnRentoul sigh. And it was the bombing, not the ground troops, that WON the war, was it not? - 1 more reply

@JuliaHB1@JohnRentoul@mehdirhasan I don't remember any ground forces being used in WW2? Normandy landings were just for cheap booze?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
