Excellent point. I suppose it depends on to what length one is willing (and able) to go to harm civilians.
Based on your posts on this thread, you're a bit of a slow learner.
It has to do with other factors far more. Think WWII.
We're damn lucky we killed those hundreds of thousands of civilians. Damn lucky.
Real men made the decision to do that, and it's worrisome that we have very few of them anymore.
