Interesting comment that today we use precision bombing to avoid civilians and collateral damage while WW2 was saturation bombing. I guess we're also now not engaged in total warfare against adversaries that would smash us if they had the wherewithal. The author does not remember Coventry, Rotterdam or Warsaw either!

This revisionist shiiiiiite only serves to poison the history and not truly analyse it. As previously stated comparing today's standards in almost everything vs. yesteryear is purely academic and a waste of oxygen....
