Vietnam,  you couldn't tell the difference between civilian and military.
Personally I think what you said about not having to worry about civilians
is wrong.  Do you think the military goes "oh shit we just hit a school
sorry guys"  They pay close attention to that sort of thing, and avoid all
unnecessary damage. War isn't what it use to be.  I think alot of it has
to do with a major part of military duty  being peace keeping now a days.
More sensative soldiers and whatnot.  Kinder friendlier army sort of
thing. or maybe im just on crack.
