In World War II it was pretty simple, just destroy everything the Germans, Japs, and Italians had, period. We even bombed entire cities without much thought about civilian casualty. Now, we worry about killing a single civilian.

And if you think about it, we haven't really had any serious threats from Germany, Japan or Italy since 1945. They still remember, even if we don't.
