War is in general a bad thing. Only thing that is supposed to make it GOOD is if you get a certain result.

Sometimes that happens, sometimes it doesn't, but ALL the time, people, especially innocent civilians will die if they're in the warzone. From the start of time this has been FACT.

And this will never change.

But the only thing that will happen now is that people are going to vilify this task force, and others whose primary objective is to hunt down terrorist leaders and kill them.

Something we need MORE of.
War will always be brutal, and people will always be outraged over civilian deaths. One of these things I would like to see change, while the other, remain the same.

When an entire population becomes detached from innocent death, that's when you really know your society is ill.

Disgust is, and should continue to be, the response to death. The military will not suddenly be disbanded because of it.
