When you make the decision to go into battle, you go in expecting to win. There is no overkill (dead is dead). We try our best to close with and kill the Enemy...not civilians.
The Enemy in this case uses the local populace as human shields. Some are willing, some are not. How does one tell the difference?
They use Religion as a excuse for their cause...and anything they do, and any casualties that are inflicted is just.
We hold this thinking as barbaric! So they use our culture against us...to sway public thinking. They also know about Vietnam!
So how do you kill an enemy that uses these tactics to kill us?
YOU USE ANY AND ALL MEANS TO DESTROY THE ENEMY!
