> Wars always have casualties. Technology helps to reduce them. In WW2 it was normal to wipe whole cities using bombs.

Large scale aerial bombardment of cities in WWII was enabled by advances in technology in the period shortly before that period, so it's really not a good thing to bring up to support a blanket “technology helps reduce them” claim about casualties.
