Depends on the bombing campaign and what its goals are Josh. Bombing can be extremely focussed like taking out a single mobile large gun or a fuel lorry.

Not one of those countries involved in bombing in Iraq or Syria are proposing carpet bombing towns or targeting civilian areas, they are degrading the ISIS capability to fight, so that when the ground troops go in, their job is much easier
