..and,unlike the MSM, let's not forget all the civilians being murdered daily by IS, which should be factored in to any decision not to act/to impose restrictive RoE, but typically isn't.

And for a complete picture, though it's very difficult to calculate, those of our own citizens who die from delayed medical help/poverty/etc because the money got spent on expensive precision weaponry, instead of cheap bombs and kidney transplants, etc.

And apart from the sheer numbers game, our civilians or theirs?
