He was advocating not caring as much for civilians so we can get to the root of th e problems. I assume that the reason we are having as much difficulty as we are over there is because of how considerate we are being towards the civilian population.
Just an assumption though.
No, he said that we should go after the families of terrorists.
He also wants to loosen the rules of engagement, and I'm sure Trump is more accepting of collateral damage than Obama was.

I assume you would like to see less casualties just as I would and although we have disagreements here what's most important is that we agree on that.
Hopefully our missions going forward are less tragic.
What I would like is irrelevant... I'd prefer we didn't have to send our boys over to the Middle East/Africa to kill people who plot terrorist attacks, but unfortunately we do. I'd prefer to not lose an America in that operation... I'd prefer innocent civilians weren't killed because the men they were with plotted terrorist attacks.
Reality can suck.
