"We've never targeted civilians"...????

Dresden? Hiroshima? Nagasaki? Day and night firebombing of Germany by the Brits in the day and us at night for weeks and months?

Cruz shrieking. Panelists set TRUMP up for the usual bashing.

You got that one backwards. We bombed in daylight, the British during night.

Technically those were military targets---not Dresden, but then that was the Brits. I know, mostly civilians, but even a-bomb targets were selected for military content.

But personally, I have no issue striking at the support structure of an enemy, especially when it's clearly a willing support structure.

Exactly. We have targeted civilians in WWII. We were fighting to survive. Antiseptic wars is a new concept and only one that can be fought if you see the enemy as no mortal threat.

And ISIS is a non-state actor that is not bound by any rules. They are Medieval savages.
