    Such a facetious argument to act like guns wouldn’t in some way limit the military.

    Because even if you bomb territory that doesn’t mean you can occupy it, see Afghanistan and Vietnam. Infantry is needed for occupation when the enemy is mixed in with civilians.

    And furthermore, don’t you think in the event of a civil war a fair bit of the military would be a bit unwilling to bomb urban areas?
