[QUOTE="Jones, post: 82366, member: 4805"] The problem with blockades is that while they sound good on paper, they rarely work in practice. Off the top of my head I can't think of any major conflicts that were won by using a blockade. In addition, you need to have to have time on your side, which we really didn't. In hindsight (always 20/20) there were some costly battles in the Pacific theatre that we probably didn't have to fight, like [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Peleliu"]Peleliu[/URL], but I'e never heard that argument made about Iwo Jima.
