@evan No military strategy has ever had the main priority of minimizing civilian casualties: by its nature, the main priority of military strategy is to achieve some military objective, e.g. capturing a strongpoint. That said, we rightfully condemn those who do not make minimising civilian casualties a secondary priority, and disproportionate injury to civilians is contrary to international law [0].
