Of course its needed. You are all the time babbling how it will be great when Assad will have enough manpower.
Lets suppose u are right. If you and all other who support Assad on forums will go to fight they will do it much faster and with less casualties.
I doubt ur description. All I see is that they barrel bombing like crazy, using Nazi style methods like starving entire towns, but still failing to achieve much.
When vaunted Hezies tried to advance without prior barrel flattening in Quseir they lost 200 people vs poorly armed peasants.
No it was not.
You forget hundreds thousands of starved and barrel bombed civilians. Thanks for confirming my point.
