Limbaugh then went into detail explaining his view that the modern U.S. military is unable to fight wars fully because "in the old days, the definition of winning a war was killing people."
He spoke about this idea for some time, citing Gen. William Sherman's march to Atlanta, the firebombing of Dresden, and the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as incidents where civilian casualties had been necessary to achieve victory in war.
Sherman's march to the Sea was primarily about destroying the confederate infrastructure rather than killing people. The Dresden fire bombing have been considered unnecessary by many historians. Rush should read Slaughterhouse 9. He might understand Dresden better.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed to avoid a costly invasion of Japan that could have sacrificed one million of our soldier's and marine's lives.
Despite the errors on his program today, Limbaugh claimed that he operates "flawlessly" and has "zero mistakes."
