Except that there have been high up government figures today outright stating that collateral damage (That means dead children, to the layperson, though they steer clear of such terms) are "inevitable" because "war is messy business" - a phrase so detached from the brutal reality of its own meaning that it makes me sick to my stomach. Although I suspect that's exactly how most high level politicians see it. Messy business and numbers.

Doesn't mean it will be the norm, far from it. UK bombing of ISIS in Iraq, no civilian casualties so far. Its not the objective of the missions to kill civilians, you paint it like it is, which is both disgusting and wrong
I am fully in support of air strikes, and I will not be made to feel that is wrong by your conjecture.
There was a time in the UK when people supported our forces once a decision had been made to take action in a country. People who now don't accept the will of parliament and continue to undermine the decision are nothing short of traitors in my opinion.
