Question about military tactics: maybe Abdul-Shakur or IGeezy can answer...

Not from a moral standpoint, but from a military, strategic, tactical perspective...There's one thing I really don't understand.... 

Let's say country A has an airforce, and country B has no airforce.  Couldn't country A just fly over and destroy all the enemy fighters of country B?


Like the case of Isreal vs. Hezbollah.  Hezbollah is having great success against Isreal.  From a military, tactical standpoint, can somebody explain to me in detail why Isreal's air force has been unable to use satellite pictures, spot Hezbollah fighters, and then just drop bombs over all their positions and be finished in 2 hours?

Or in the case of Vietnam, and other similar wars.  How come America's airforce in Vietnam couldn't just fly over and bomb all the enemy positions?

One last example, in some regions of Afganistan, the Taliban is still just roaming about freely through the towns, a few area's they control, how is it that America is unable to just fly it's air force over that territory and bomb all the enemy positions?


...This is not a moral discussion, I'm just asking these questions from a strategic, tactical, military standpoint.  I'd appreciate answers in the same format.  Peace.

Digital Pimpin':
Funnily enough I was thinking the exact same thing, especially with satellite imagery being so precise these days.

Maybe pilots have to fly at a dangerously low altitude to have a good chance of hitting these targets or something.

Someone should teach these muthafuckers to use Google Earth :D

Don Rizzle:
tunnels

ARYC:
well tunnels( hezbollah fighters appear strike and dissapear), plus i seriously doubt that these satellites can survey the entire area at the same time.

America gave Isreal bunker busting bombs, the same ones they supposedly used in the mountains of Afganistan.
