WAPO Op-ed on airpower

[Fuchs]

Hmm, here's no-one from the "peace!" faction, so let me fill this role.

Civilians should be treated as humans, not different from your own fellow citizens.

There's no need for dedicated COIN doctrine or strategic insights to find the right path in this case. Simply don't treat foreign civilians as sub-humans and you'll avoid stupid mistakes.

I guess I will never learn to predict the extent of reactions that my writings provoke.
Sometimes I get fierce reactions to secondary remarks and at times I get none about stuff like this quote.
There's always a reaction to no reaction; I begin to think about whether I merely wrote something that was a hidden consensus or maybe nobody wanted to touch that topic or maybe...?

agree with what you wrote. Ignoring the unnecessary "peace" faction bit, of course...
