It cracks me up that wars are so much less damaging now, thanks to better technology — except among the Islamofascists and other terrorists, who continue to attack non-combatants, and as a consequence, need to be hunted down, killed, or if captured, executed in a large public venue as the crowd chants against them.

The left's insistence on no collateral damage is absurd, even given our advanced technology.

Another consequence of fewer casualties is that they are even more concentrated in the combat units. We don't do enough to make them as safe by technology or tactics or adequate force levels.

At a minimum we should treat the islamofascists who use the civilian population as shields when they aren't killing them need to be treated like the war criminals they are by summary tribunals and executions. But Zero and Holder give them American constitutional rights instead.

Parts of Germany where there were active operations in the Thirty Years War didn't recover from the population devastation until the 18th Century, the worst not until the 19th. It was a brutal, ugly war, the worst of a bad era.
