NOPE. what GOOD generals DO is assure that civilan casualties are kept to a minimum, that civilan suffering is minimized and that the Laws of War are followed by their troops.

Confederate troops raped Confederate women so are you saying that Lee was a bad general? Are you saying that Ike was a bad general since Germany was firebombed?

AND good generals assure that instances of rape,torture,robbery,plundering & especially MURDER are punished severely under the Law of War. the punishment for these crimes was/is death by hanging or shooting by firing squad.

Many Confederates were not punished when they raped confederate women. Was Lee a bad general then?
