Nor is there anything particularly nasty, as weaponry goes, about cluster bombs and bomblets, Hippikos. Only those of little experience of war are going to get extra-specially wound up about this weapon or that being used and on whomever.

Even on Fox News, I noticed rather a lot of that going on, even among newsies who seemed old enough to know better.

The weapons all still blast you, get you all bloody, smack you around, and hurt a lot. A good many of them are deafeningly loud as well. I also don't particularly expect rationality about deciding whether it's napalm or phosgene that is beyond the martial pale.
