Sad as it may be.....Would you like to list the wars, where women

and
children were not victims ? None that I have experienced !!

The Falklands war?


ArVa

I guess your right on that one (or pretty close) !! They claim there

were
.3% civilian casualties (gender unknown ?)


IIRR, either two or three kelper women were killed by British NGFS in Port
Stanley. There were also some civilian casualties including one dead

IIRC, as
a result of a bombing raid on one of the outlying airstrips, which in fact

was
unoccupied by the Argentines.

You're right, I didn't know this fact but three British women were indeed
killed during the war, as the house in which they stood on the outskirts of
Port Stanley was hit by a (British) shell. They were the only civilian
casualties of the war, according to this site :
http://www.raf.mod.uk/falklands/rafetcroll.html

I guess it just proves once again that there is no such thing as a "clean"
war and that this very concept is just a figment of some generals'
imagination...
