Tonight, while listening to Brian Williams, NBC News I heard him say there were 335 casualties in Lebanon, most of whom were civilian. After having served a career in the military I thought all Hezbollah personnel were civilian.
As a submarine sailor I have never participated in a war. However, I have been watching wars in or on the news all of my life. The History Channel continually shows bombings of Germany during WWII and pictures exhibit miles of desolate territory throughout Germany, Russia, Japan, etc. During those bombings the civilian populace were targeted much as Hezbollah is targeting Israel.
If Israel was targeting Lebanese civilians the death tolls would be a hell of a lot higher than 335. Hezbollah aims their weapons using a somewhat basic point and shoot method like oldtime chinese rockets. Israel aims their weapons using modern ballistics.
Brian Williams may want to come up with a new term other than "civilians" to identify the Hezbollah thugs and their supporters who are dying in Lebanon.
