#1 38-6. Has to be hard to get the collateral damage ratio lower than that when the targets keep civilians close all the time.

#2 Ditto Glenmore. Civilians who do not want to be collateral casualty need to live away from the terrorists. The best way to reduce the civilian collateral casualty is to blast them all together, and then the terrorists will not use civilians for protection because they will not be protected. If I had a wish, I will put all the politicians and their advisors in jail for sending our brave and young kids to die with their hands tied behind in those stupid foreign wars with barbarians with a mandate to kiss the ass of those enemies and for what?. Even the stupidest of stupid knows that none of those countries with Islamic majority could become friends of USA except the shapers of our foreign policy. In war with Japan, peace was restored by two nuclear bombs, not by appeasement and the Japanese were not as barbarians as the people of majority Islamist countries. Well, let them learn the civilized manners by giving the fear of their complete destruction. As it was before, it is still the only way to save American lives and to restore peace (unfortunately not for ever) in the world again. It is also unfortunate that most Americans do not feel pain enough to take drastic action if kids of some one else are killed by enemies of USA.

#3 Accepting responsibility for the deaths of Civilian Human Shields is stupid. If the terrorist hides behind a civilian, and someone, by mistake kills the civilian in the course of attacking the terrorist - the civilian death is the fault of the terrorist - not the attacker. It was the terrorist who decided to hide behind the skirts of civilians.

And of course if the civilian knowingly shields the terrorist...

How many Civilian lives were saved by killing these vermin? Hundreds? Thousands?

#4 Dresden was a bitch for German civilians as well, but the Allies WON THE WAR!
