Presumably they're well aware that this largely involved the punitive bombing of civilians. To quote future Air Marshal Arthur "Bomber" Harris from his time as an RAF squadron leader during the Iraqi uprising:
"The Arab and Kurd now know", reported Squadron Leader Harris after several such raids, "what real bombing means within 45 minutes a full-sized village can be practically wiped out, and a third of its inhabitants killed or injured, by four or five machines which offer them no real target, no opportunity for glory as warriors, no effective means of escape."
