Chilling that "population" is listed as a target but I can't help imagining a
scenario where all of the primary and secondary targets -- military,
government, industrial, agricultural -- are taken out with strikes that
limited the amount of collateral damage and maximized the number of survivors:
how many of those people will wish they had not survived the attack?
