Ok, peacenik, why are your innocents wearing uniforms and holding guns then? :-)

Not all killed in war are wearing Uniform or holding guns. :sigh: In fact, 90% are civilians Civilian casualty ratio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[^] :((

Thanks, Milind

Not intending to diminish the point that many civilians are killed in wars but from the page you linked to

Starting in the 1980s, it was often claimed that 90 percent of the victims of modern wars were civilians.[1][2][3][4] The claim was repeated on Wikipedia's Did You Know on 14 December 2010, and it has been repeated in academic publications as recently as 2014.[5] These claims, though widely believed, are not supported by detailed examination of the evidence, particularly that relating to wars (such as those in former Yugoslavia and in Afghanistan) that are central to the claims.

Although they suggest the highest figures where cited from a source that included refugees as casualties. A truer figure seems to be 'only' around 50% of casualties are civilian.

Thank you for the link. I am from Jutland, but had to look it up as well :^)

The first real computers could have been used at Jutland, for targeting, but the Old School Admirals didn't go for that new-fangled stuff, so they lobbed three-quarters of their shells straight in the water, instead. Of course, the British know how to keep secrets, so no-one outside the RN upper echelons knew about it until half a century later, after a different group of Englishman had invented the computer unilaterally.

At least you didn't pour gasoline on the fire by saying "I thought you were too old for Jutland" :)
