On: Why the world's biggest military keeps losing wars

That was a consideration after the war, not during. Nowadays we hold back from razing entire cities like we did with Dresden/Nagasaki/Hiroshima.

Fallujah was razed. Phosphorous incendiaries were used as in Dresden. Casualties were much lower though as most of the population had fled by that point.

And razed to support mercenaries, as well! Not a good look hearts-and-minds wise.

Friendly note: I think you mean "razing."
