For a long time weapons have become more and more accurate. You go from Norden bomb sites, star trackers and inertial navigation. To terrain tracking, laser guidance and GPS. The more precise it is the smaller the blast radius can be. And if you want really low collateral damage you need really good precision. That means boots on the ground or disintermediating humans entirely.

I thought wars are won by technology nowadays, so what good does it do to kill a person? But maybe after all individual people are still important to organizations and it's a deterrence.
