Do I have your permission for that?>>5299445what weapon of mass destruction do you propose the elite team use? a few men cannot hold off an army, so that is the only punishment that can be given, to kill them all quickly. It will be tough to get useful prisoners (eg, ones that have answers) that way.
And if they fail China cannot afford it.

War is a messy thing and the only way forward here (besides conquering) is to not just eliminate the trespassing soldiers here now but to invade mongolia in return and destroy more than they've destroyed us. Then the mongolians in charge will think twice about ever invading us again, and the more common mongolians will hesitate to support their government if they decide to attack us again. War is political, and since they've decided to test us we have to displayour power.
