Oh, so you believe that when American planes carpet-bombed Berlin, they successfully avoided 100% of the civilians? Hundreds of thousands of pounds of incendiary bombs raining down on Berlin, at night, and
every single one of them avoided civilians? Don't be so naive.

Even Wikipedia estimates FORTY SEVEN
MILLION civilian casualties.
And don't get all holier-than-thou. Just because you have a family member that served, doesn't alter history. By the way, my grandfather was a Screaming Eagle, so we're even in that department.
