While it's true that US officers are taught to use overwhelming firepower and tactical air and other high tech wepons, if it saves American lives, I can't find a lot of fault there. If there are civilian casualties on the other side, that is a real shame, but an unfortunate part of war. (Purposely killing or maiming of non-combatants is another story entirely.) War is not a nice thing.
On the other hand, RA's right to express his opinion is one of our ideals, and rightly so.
