Well, of course she did.  But the objective is to break the will of the enemy to fight.  Like when we dropped the bombs in Japen to end the war.  Is it tragic? yes.  But you have to hit the enemy where it will hurt.  You need to read of Sun Tsu and some other thoughts about war.  I spent 32 years with the Department of Defense and I can tell you, the "nice guy" tactics we've created make us look weak and uncommitted.  You don't go into a war unless you have decided to do whatever is necessary to win. 

I know these things are hard to civilians to accept, but that is what our military planners and strategists will tell you.  We went all out in WWI and WWII and we won.  And we haven't gone all out since and we've lost.
