Lmao. No. You don't have a clue what you're talking about. An Infantry fight in an urban area sucks but it's far less destructive than leveling entire blocks with explosives.

Less destructive but more fatal to civilians.

It's weird you don't know this, honestly

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Bullshit. Unless you're committing war crimes left and right.

Fewer civilian casualties is literally the reason the US started using drone strikes instead of boots on the ground.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Dude. They started using drones because there's no congressional hearing when a drone is shot down in some random African country. But you lose one green beret and there's years of hearings. That's why we went to drones.

[–] SCB@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No. We used drones in an active warzone first

Just stop. Nobody said they were peaceful areas.
