And yet, civilians killed in the warzone, relative to soldiesr killed, has skyrocketed. Perhaps 400,000 in Iraq. In 2022 the UN said that globally, civilians are now sometimes as high as 90% of deaths. In Gaza, sometimes 100 dead civilians is worth one high-value Hamas target.

Civilian death used to be a point of military shame; in the age of surgical strikes it's simply part of the "precise" calculation.

Again Niall, your subscribers are getting the shaft. Being redirected to a paywalled site in order to read the rest of an article is a cheat. I want my money back!
