You only have to look at past wars to see this is clearly not a total lack restraint. During WWII, the US purposely burned down entire cities (not just small villages, some of the biggest cities in the world) just to scare the shit out of the other side. In Korea and Vietnam millions of civilians were killed by artillery and air raids on villages and cities. By some accounts nearly all buildings in N. Korea were destroyed by bombing. Even in Iraqi and Serbia, the US was bombing civilian targets like bridges and power plants. LOL at FDR being against drones. He was overseeing the purposeful destruction of as many German and Japanese civlians as possible.
