No, they decided after a while that Afghani civilians were not worth the equivalent of an American soldier. And that was several years after the invasion which took literally less than a month.

Then they switched to bombing via drone, and Obama got a Nobel Peace Prize for convincing us that significant civilian collateral is a totally acceptable practice and definitely not some form of negligence for human life.

Even then, it was during the post invasion state. After the Taliban had been mostly destroyed and left in a dismantled state.

Israel just started its slow Gaza ground invasion. Bum IDF just barely stepped into the Urban zone earlier this week, yet they've been bombing civilians for the past month.

Obviously I don't expect them to actually care about civilians or even the hostages, but I really wish they'd stop acting like they can't actually engage in a proper ground battle.

Although with the tank kills Hamas has somehow been achieving, maybe the IDF really does suck at ground battles.
