I think it's a waste of time to talk about moralizing and who's targeting civilians and who's sticking to military targets. That's civilian BS. Ever notice how civilians always refer to themselves as "innocent"? The implication is that people in the military must be "guilty". The actual fact is war is carried on between societies, and everyone's involved.


What you say is true for 19th and 20th century wars, modern wars, total wars. I just want to note that it has generally not been true for most of history; war is a game with rules. For example, 18th century wars were fought between small standing armies and the civilians were mostly left out of it. How wars will be fought in the 21st century remains to be seen.
