“Shock and awe (technically known as rapid dominance) is a military doctrine based on the use of overwhelming power, dominant
battlefield awareness, dominant maneuvers, and spectacular displays of force to paralyze an adversary’s perception of the battlefield and destroy its will to fight. The doctrine was written by Harlan K. Ullman and James P. Wade in 1996 and is a product of the National Defense University of the United States.”

This is the tactic used on targeted individuals. When you think objectively to what is being done to targets, it’s something you just do not do to people. But they’re doing it.
To what degree have we become desensitized to what is being done to us. Is it because there seemly no defense against it?
If you could defend against it, if you were in the position to defend it, what do you honestly think a fair punishment would be for the perp-a-traitors? If they torture citizens for years on end, how could you possibly estimate what a fair punishment would be? If they drive targets to suicide, how would you punish them for such a crime? Any suggestions?
I think it is a good idea for us to discuss what a fair punishment would be if the day should come where these people are captured and convicted.
