not a military one.
Think about it. Our soldiers wear uniforms; their soldiers look exactly like civilians. That places us at a disadvantage even before the first shot is fired.
Law enforcement teams can surveil, shadow, infiltrate and dismantle far more precisely than bunker-busters can. And any bomb going off in a city is going to shatter families, whose survivors are going to join the terrorists--whereas they wouldn't have before. That's why we have more terrorists now than when we started the "war on terror."
