Sorry for not replying earlier. I just wanted to say that I hope things turn out that way, because that would be the ideal situation: fewer human casualties on both sides. Maybe I've seen one too many war movies, but I worry that the command-and-control mentality of the armed forces could override the soldier's moral sense, at least immediately, by forcing them to detach themselves from the situations. Remember that while a soldier may think "big whoop" about a hundred-million dollar aircraft going down, their commanding officer (who's butt is on the line for that loss) may not think so, and so will do everything in their power to prevent such losses. That may include some "collateral damage". At least, if the soldiers later suffer from PTSD, hopefully in the end they will speak their minds and the truth will come out. That's how we've heard about a lot of the atrocities of past wars.
