Careless

Infobox > Result: "High number of civilian casualties due to careless bombing." – what is "careful bombing" of Civilian targets? --Furfur^{⁂ Diskussion} 00:57, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Precision bombing, presumably, but stating the result was X due to Y seems overly detail for the infobox, so I have struck (see diff) "due to careless bombing". -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 23:03, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, that's much better. I was a little bit irritated by this quite euphemistic or uncritical term. --Furfur^{⁂ Diskussion} 23:10, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
