Pointing out that shooting weapons into the air in an area with
insugents around is a bad idea is blaming the victims ?

If you're dropping bombs on weddings the implication is thst there's nobody
on the ground shouting 'don't shoot, it's a wedding'.

If your shooting into the air with aircraft around the implication is
you are trying to hit somebody.

In that case they're not insurgents, they're the local government...

Before they were just innocent civvilians, why the change ?

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things.
The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic
feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.

The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight,
nothing which is more important than his own personal safety,
is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless
made so and kept so by the exertions of much better men than himself.

John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873) English economist and philosopher.
