Does the father whose daughter didn’t come home from school care if the “civilian casualty” was deliberate or accidental? “Stop killing kids” sounds much more

Does the father whose daughter didn’t come home from school care if the “civilian casualty” was deliberate or accidental?
“Stop killing kids” sounds much more impactful than “establish rules of engagement to minimize collateral damage”. Language matters.
Similarly: Does the worker without a job care whether they were fired, laid off, or affected by a reduction in force? Probably not. But “affected by a reduction in force” sure makes it easier for leadership to press the button.
