    Yes, because people that care about not killing Innocents would say “why don’t we go in shoot just the terrorist instead of leveling the whole block?”

      Urban combat results in more civilian casualties. Urban combat is a hellish meat grinder.

          Yes now imagine how easy it is to ambush there. Now imagine you live in the area still. How dangerous would an army be forced to view you as?

          You should really read up on urban combat. Aleppo has a lot of documentation on it.

        Lmao. No. You don’t have a clue what you’re talking about. An Infantry fight in an urban area sucks but it’s far less destructive than leveling entire blocks with explosives.

          Less destructive but more fatal to civilians.

          It’s weird you don’t know this, honestly

            Bullshit. Unless you’re committing war crimes left and right.

              Fewer civilian casualties is literally the reason the US started using drone strikes instead of boots on the ground.

                Dude. They started using drones because there’s no congressional hearing when a drone is shot down in some random African country. But you lose one green beret and there’s years of hearings. That’s why we went to drones.

                  No. We used drones in an active warzone first

                    Just stop. Nobody said they were peaceful areas.
