Jump To Comment: 1During war opposing forces occupy territory and use positions in their territory to fire at the enemy on the other side.
Villages, towns and cities are strategically vital and are contested by opposing forces.
To force an enemy force to withdraw from or surrender a town or village you have to blast him out with artillery bombardment and air strikes, to level buildings that are being used as strongpoints, to maxmise his casualties and to minimise your own.
BUT
Innnocent men women and children live in villages, towns and cities and if you are going to blast an enemy force into surrender or withdrawl you will obviously kill those innocent men women and children.
If you don't bomb the enemy you will not kill him and he will continue to occupy the village, town or city.
If you do bomb the enemy you will probably kill him or force him to surrender or to withdraw and you will win.
If Allied bombs had not fallen on French villages, towns or cities during World War 2, the Germans would probably still be occupyign France to this day.
If Irish rebels had not captured Dublin city during Easter 1916 the city centre would not have been destroyed by British shellfire and hundreds of civilians would not have died but Ireland would still likely be part of the United kingdom.
If American bombs do not land on Taliban controlled territory then the Taliban will continue to control that territory and impose their diabolical Islamic fanaticism on the Afghan people with impunity.
