or the Shenandoah Valley campaign when the north concluded it needed to attack the civilian population to erode support?

In war the winners lose, and the losers lose.

Sherman's march was for destroying infrastructure, business and homes. Not murder civilians

Was the south launching missiles blindly up into the north?

I'm certainly not okay with Sherman. That bastard burned down my ancestral home.

Enjoying Israel's "war on terror" and loved what Sherman did with the traitors in the South.

I'm having trouble seeing how these two things have anything to do with one another. And I don't have a problem with the Israelis attacking legitimate targets in Gaza--even to some degree at the risk of the civilian population. That's the nature of urban warfare and one reason why some of us raise the actual point that Netanyahu should be working more earnestly toward a negotiated peace. The Palestinian leaders are worthless POS, as they've always been, and (as always) protract the suffering of their people. But no one negotiating with Bibi seriously thinks he gives a shite about peace or ending the bloodshed.

This will not end well, but I guess that's what the OP was going for.

Well there was a cavalry raid into Penn that burned down over 200 hundred homes and 100 businesses. Sorry can't remember the yankee town.

People who are bitching keep forgetting that you fight wars to win....what ever means necessary. Hell half the problem with the world now is we are too nice when we decide to kick someone's arse. You frick with us...we are going to salt the earth as burn the ground as we march through your country.

I wasn't born when Sherman was alive.

This.
You do like the Romans did in the Punic wars. Kill the males, take the women as salves and salt the earth.
I don't know why Israel is screwing around with a PR campaign. To win you can't give shite what others think. You do what you have to do.
I don't know what is holding them back. Jewish guilt?
