You're completely wrong. Where do you think the US soldiers were at Bastogne , at some army base? They were dug in at civilian homes and shops.
The Unknown Dead: Civilians in the Battle of the Bulge
Conspicuously lacking in most accounts, however, are references to the civilians in Belgium and Luxembourg who lost their lives in the same battle. Yet the most reliable current estimates calculate at approximately three thousand. the number of civilians who perished during the six weeks of fighting.

Of course civilians were killed in Bastogne.
And OF COURSE somebody who puts the interests of a foreign country above the interests of the US would accuse the US army of Ukrainian/Palestinian human shield tactics!
The US Army never used a building...school, hospital, residence etc. without first evacuating the civilians there. Not in WWII, and not since.
But you accuse them of just that. The friggin’ US Army...the outfit that has lost at least as many men protecting civilians as achieving objectives.
Shame.
But war criminal Ukrainians do it systematically and it is part of their national defense strategy.
They embed with the civilians in the most photogenic of buildings, and DO NOT evac them. Often they do not even inform them...and worse...prevent their departure.
And YOU support and defend them.
