Unfortunately it's always been the case for as long as humans have had war that the civilian casualty ratio is around 50% to 90%.

Edit: Apparently the 90% figure is a myth. According to the wiki it's much more likely to be 50% to 60%.

How? Armed conflicts sometimes happen, and I've yet to see a working plan which doesn't endanger any civilians.

Good point. Let's just not do war altogether

Well what are you going to do when some murderous prick like Putin or indeed Trump comes knocking? Give up?

We should use assassination markets to pay their own men to kill them.
