Guerilla Warfare

I think some consideration should be given to the type of war this is. The enemy isn't what we think of as honorable. They hide, attack, then hide again. They attack their own people, their own religious centers, and hide in the populace. How do you avoid civilian casualties? It's nearly impossible to do. Our technologies allow us to be more accurate than in previous wars and that is a big step forward.

The consequences and frustrations are bound to have psychological effects on the soldiers. They are only human. I don't think it would be better to try and brainwash the soldiers to the point where they don't think for themselves and simply follow orders. It's unfortunate that they get to the state where a "blood bath" might occur, but I am sure that such instances were not part of their orders.

There are a lot of gray areas in war, there are a lot of instances where people are unsure and have to use their best judgment based on the facts that are presented to them at the time.

I'm just saying there is a lot to consider and it's too easy to sit back and make quick opinions.
