I think this is a little unfair - as far as I understand 'surgical strike' is not a reall military term, and the terminology was used by pundits and politicians to put a spin on current events.
I don't think anyone takes issue with generals using correct terminology, but usualy they aren't the ones giving interviews.
- chrisseaton 4y agoThe person I was replying to was the person who introduced that term to the thread! The first time it was used was them complaining about its use!
- ClumsyPilot 4y agoAm I lost? I was trying to discuss the term as its used in popular media
- chrisseaton 4y agoYour original reply to me quoted 'surgical strike', debating what that meant in the context of my reply, but that's not a term I used, so I don't know who you were quoting. You're debating a term I never used. If you don't like how someone else uses it, then you'll have to ask them about what they mean, because I didn't use it.
