A bit of compassion for the innocent would do you the world of good.
Civilian casualties are low in modern warfare because of carefully selected engagements. Your proposed method would send the collateral damage count back to where it was in decades past. That's unacceptable.
Face it, we've morally evolved. We've moved on. It's immoral to mow anyone down who even remotely resembles "the enemy," without necessary checks and balances carried out by rational thinkers, and not trigger pulling "drones" who kill whatever they like. We're better than that.
