We would most likely give air and naval support. Causualities for the US would be at a minimum, and both the aforementioned fields are the United States speciality. Like seriously, our navy is 10 ten times larger than the next largest navy. Same with the airforce.
It's wierd when people come up to me and ask "How was it going to highschool with yourself?" but I'd always answer "It was the greatest, deepest experience of my life." I would then go about telling everyone who I am, shouting it to the heavens, because to know me is truly, truly a great thing.
The OP seems to alluding to the notion that torture is not an acceptable level of warfare, say for instance like using Mustard Gas or disregarding human causualties entirely. It's not "nice" to torture the shit out of enemy combatants.
Also to answer the OP's question litteraly, torture is supposed to be avoided at all costs in warfare. The French tortured like a third of every Algerian male in the 50s when they were fighting them, and even though France won against the insurgents the general populace was not exactly pleased with their methods. Almost all of France's loyalists switched sides and that is why there is no longer an Algerian French Colony. Plus, did waterboarding a few terrorists ever get the US anywhere? It gave countless terrorists groups nice little bullet points to put on their recruitment fliers and bolster their numbers. It's becoming more evident over the years to stop brute force methods of gathering intelligence (AKA torture) and I won't go into all the reasons but generally speaking it is generally being avoid more and more.
@Detrian: Since you know a little about the subject can you tell me what IQ tests correlate with exactly?
I thought high IQ translated to a faster mind, but in all my experience at school I usually finished tests first in the class, got the highest grades in the class, and generally solved real life problems faster than most people. I'm not trying to brag or anything because my IQ is only 120 (The average for college students).
Also, this is just me screwballing, but do high IQ tests correlate with mental instability and antisocial behavior? Is that why you guys test for it?
I have never seen you before, but I imagine that you are a rogue that travels from town to town quickly morphing into a flying rat whenever your identity is revealed.
@President_Barackbar: No, he doesn't care about videogames, but he does sincerely believe in what he argues. It's scary to think that most partisans actually think the way they are talking - the only partisan I can think of that is guilty of fear mongering for popularity is Michael Savage.
"Don't know if this really counts, but after getting the first Blue Star Cap, the guy who talks to you, I forget his name, the camera decided to go inside his head. Let me tell you, it is terrifying seeing the mouth move from inside a dude's head. "
