Since they have the capability to kill more civilians than they have been actually killed, that automatically means they aren't intending to kill civilians? I don't think I buy that line of reasoning, mostly because it doesn't make sense.
"Gee Officer, I guess I took fifty bucks out of that fellow's wallet, but he had over a thousand dollars in there so as you can plainly see I wasn't doing anything wrong".

No, luckily we are not in that position, but I don't know what that has to do with anything. You say you would be mad at whoever did it so obviously you have some amount of empathy but at the same time you seem to say "how dare they fight back"?

How far do these goofy euphemisms go for actual human beings that are suffering? My guess is that they don't provide much comfort. What the hell does "collateral damage" mean to someone whose husband and kids are dead on the side of the highway?

No I wasn't, but you did say you understand.
