Reba is right. I used to call fire missions for artirrerly while in the army. These munitions are not designed to kill civilians. They are designed to kill large amounts of enemeny soliders in a specifis area, with one round of ammo.
Example- If you see a company of enemy infantry walking along a road or out in the open (vulnerable). Call in am ICM round (same type munition as discussed). The round detonates in the air above the enemy troops. Several small bombs fall and detonate at approximately 6 feet from the ground. The average height of a full grown male, killing them. If you ban cluster munitions, the US soliders will suffer higher injury and casualty rates. These are necessary weapons in modern warfare.
There are no P.C. weapons in warfare. That is why it is called warfare. There is no way to fight a war without civilian casualties. It is an unfoirtunate part of war that innocent people will die. I support trying to minimize civilian casualties. But not doing so by jeapordizing the safety of our troops. Sorry, you will probably strongly disagree with me. But try looking at the issue from the perspective of the solider that is in the fight. If your govt. had weapons that can be resonably be deployed to prevent enemy firghters from attacking you, wouldnt you be pissed off if your own govt said you cannot use it, forcing you into more battles in which you could get injured or killed?
