Is a bombing campaign an effective way to win a conflict?

If your goal is to get bombed too, yes.

Ask the Japanese.

Doing what?

They surrendered days after we bombed them.

Making SURE they stayed SURRENDERED.

That and safe guarding locations, giving humanitarian aid and all that other sissy bull shit.

Try reading a history book before it gets revised some time.

Occupation is a completely different issue than achieving a military/diplomatic victory. The fact is that through a bombing campaign (and the timely Soviet invasion of Manchuria and Korea) the USA forced Japan to surrender.

Too vague a question to have any meaning. Every conflict, or military action, is rife with context. Context that clarifies, and indeed dictates, the answer to this question.

Bombing can be a retaliatory political message. Or a warning. Or part of a larger operation. Or part of an occupation. Or, backward as this may seem, part of a peacekeeping mission. Or...etc. etc.

So, to reiterate, there is no answer to your question that is satisfactory, because of the limited nature of the question itself.

I think you missed my point, but ok.

Funny Ush said threads with questions in them were against the rules. Wonder what happened to him and the rules when these were made.

Depends upon the type of weapons used.

In a conventional scenario, boots on the ground are essential to secure the objectives.

I said no such thing and it is very poor form for you to make such things up.

Is a conventional bombing campaign, like the one being employed against ISIS likely to be effective without a modern ground campaign.

The conflict ended because of the bomb. We had troops there to make sure it *stayed* ended.

I'm more disturbed by his description of humanitarian aid as "sissy bullshit", not cool.

Why are you replying to Surtur? He didn't say that.

Because Surtur was replying to a post that did.
