before long the only approach taken to fighting locals will be to cut off their city from supplies, food, water, gasoline, oil, etc

that will kill many innocents
I see no other way, except to get caught in guerrilla fighting in every single city and town

we will face a terrible choice: kill innocent civilians or else get caught in difficult guerrilla battles everywhere

we talk about preserving innocent civilian lives
UNTIL DOING SO ENDANGERS OUR SOLDIERS

translation: we will kill civilians soon, lots of them
locals will use them as human shields
and we will kill them also
COLLATERAL DAMAGE WITHIN ACCEPTABLE BOUNDS

take your costs, your casualties, your timeline

then multiply each by between 5 and 10
