    Yes, because people that care about not killing Innocents would say “why don’t we go in shoot just the terrorist instead of leveling the whole block?”

      Urban combat results in more civilian casualties. Urban combat is a hellish meat grinder.

          Yes now imagine how easy it is to ambush there. Now imagine you live in the area still. How dangerous would an army be forced to view you as?

          You should really read up on urban combat. Aleppo has a lot of documentation on it.

        Lmao. No. You don’t have a clue what you’re talking about. An Infantry fight in an urban area sucks but it’s far less destructive than leveling entire blocks with explosives.
