try some empathy. if you were conscripted to fight, i don't think your mom would approve of your "19th century warfare" plan. she would want the air force to drop the bombs if there was any improvement to your odds of coming home. she would smack you on the head and say there is nothing "cowardly" about avoiding unnecessary danger

I see what you're saying, IDF soldiers were trigger happy to kill surrendering Semites that were the hostages they were looking for, because their mom said its not cowardly to avoid unnecessary danger.

Thanks for redefining that term, its the substantive comment we needed. I apologize for my chauvinistic idea that avoiding masculine altruism during an actual war to accomplish the actual stated goal might be internationally seen as cowardly.

It’s near impossible to explain to some that 50k dead is equivalent to nuking a place. See, everyone is like “well it’s not like we’re nuking the place” … well actually, that’s … actually what it is.

Hiroshima was 80k dead? How do you achieve a Hiroshima without the blowback of using a Nuke? Heh. You can get the same causality count minus the Nuke fan-fare, IDF lunch special (a bomb sandwich).
