    The imperative word being "can" I believe.

    Twice as many civilians were killed in the last Gulf war by american missiles and good-old-fashioned carpet bombing than Saddam has killed during his entire reign.

            my comments:

            killing civilians in war is rare? what are you smoking?

            individual soldiers aren't the bad guys, it's the politicians calling the shots...

            In the US military, only about 10% of troops are assigned for combat (according to a military recruiter I recently spoke with). With all the technology, there are big needs in communications, computers, etc...
            To us, it is the BEAST.

                    Nobody ever called me a baby-killer, at least not to my face. In any case, if it looks like spam and smells like spam, and tastes like spam, it must be spam.

                        "Baby killer?"

                        Don't know about that. Military soldiers do not intend to kill non-combatants, many some do not work with the bombing or munitions that would kill babies, so this would be inaccurate term for the entirety of the military.
                        All wars kill some non-combatants, regardless of how 'smart' your bombs are. That's what they call collateral damage Numbers don't really matter, if you kill one baby, you are still a baby killer.

                          Osweld, do you pay taxes? your money pays for these killing machines. Now you help to kill civilians, you should stop paying taxes, right?

                          Also by doing that , stop using any services paid by tax money.

                            Technology has really reduced the civilian casualties of war.

                            If the U.S. WANTED to kill civilians, we could do a very effective job doing so, just by using cluster munitions instead of expensive "Smart" weapons. Take out the whole Grid-Square, instead of the building.

                            Being a baby killer is a good thing, as long as you throw out the enemy with the bathwater too...

                              I don't support war.


                              I'd say it gets iffy once you start geting out of the realm of military volunteers and politicians, though.



                              Pekka, that is in principal the same thing as drafting - people forced into it unwitingly are obviously not to blame. ('though, it's always better if they stand against it)

                                hey I was in the navy and I did not work to kill babies.

                                I worked in the propulsion plant. I make ships go through water.... to allow the ship to kill babies
