We are more humane. So much more then in any conflict before this. Looks at Dresden in WW2 or the carpet bombing of N. Vietnam. We have become too humane if you ask me. A Roman citizen could walk the length of the world untouched because the penalty was that the Romans would kill everyone as a reprisal. The job of the military is to kill people and break things. The job of the military is to end a conflict as quick as possible with the least amount of death of their own people. We forgot this in Korea and Vietnam. We forgot the first rule. I lost friends because we could not call in heavy support (Afghanistan). The Korean War would have ended with far less dead civilians if they let MacAuthur fight without tying his hands - A Chinese plane, takes off from China, kills UN troops, American plane gives chase, Chinese plane crosses an imaginary line and has to be let go, to land unbothered only to kill again the next day. 2.5M civilian dead, 2M soldiers because a weapon was consider to be to lethal. Bayonet, Bullet, Bomb or Nuke on a military target, they all kill. One just ends it faster.
