Even if you're in favour of the war there is still the many questions of how the war is actually being fought. Now I'm sure a lot of people here in Subsim know a thing or two about warfare etc. and also understand that even in a war there should be an attempt being made to mitigate civilian losses, right?
There are many tactics the US military is using that are causing civilian casualties and the inaccurate drone bombings are just one of these tactics. Whenever the US causes civilian casualties there are people, usually Americans, saying that "it's just how war is".
Well that's not the case, troops from other countries are managing without killing civilians in Afghanistan, now how can this be? And it's not just a question of smaller area of responsibility, they just are not killing civilians. It's called being carefull and going after hearts & minds. The US is waging the war as if the Afghan civilians are the enemy. No wonder Karzai has been saying "US troops out" for a long time.
