    I’d wager the majority were civilians.

    I’ll never understand how you can justify classifying every male about 16 as a combatant. The US was literally invading other nations and killing their kids. Like specifically targeting them in precision strikes.

      Yeah I’m not sure how they do that either. I can somewhat understand the fact that the other countries were arming the kids and thus everyone is a threat but there are specific operational guidelines that make it so this is not the case so I agree I don’t understand how that is a thing either besides the operational parameters were not correctly articulated.
