Without a doubt their would be peripheral damage if we were to use non-precision guided munitions against Serbian forces that were in close quarters with non-target populace, but not as much as you would expect. The advances in delivery accuracy for such "dumb" munitions as anti personnel/anti vehicle cluster munitions (CBUs) has improved drastically even since the Persian Gulf. Some of those can be delivered from as far as 15 miles away, from an altitude of 20K feet as long as the target is large enough. Still, our biggest obstacles in Serbia will be if they disperse their forces in the rugged terrain and we have to hunt for them, while exposing our aircraft to AAA and SAMs. I don't expect that we will come out of this unbloodied. I also believe that we intend to pound as many of their large, fixed military targets as possible to dust and there won't be a damn thing the Serbs can do about it except whine about U.S. blood lust. I think if you asked the ethnic Albanians in Kosovo which they preferred, our munitions or Serbian ethnic cleansing, they would vote overwhelmingly for our munitions as long as they were stopping the Serbs.
