people who are talking about the innocent civilians killed in a war zone are ususally referring to women and children. i can tell you that fighting in an islamic region is just plain different. the numbers may show a higher than expected body count for women and children, some of which may be attributed to the tactic of sending the family out because they know americans typically get squeamish about popping anybody but an adult man holding a weapon.
that is not to say that there have been 0 legitimate civilian casualties, because there have, but i think the number gets inflated because people don't get to hear about some of the ploys used by our enemies.
