As to the problem of civilians (chapter 5), 90-10 
doesn't deal with them that much and then primarily 
as a source of difficultities casued by masses of 
refugees on the same roads as military convoys.
There is a note of caution, however, against
shelling built up civilian areas:

>When applying firepower in a built-up area, 
>only military targets may be attacked. Mass 
>bombardments (air/artillery) are tactically 
>counter-productive (reduces mobility and provides 
>better cover). They also alienate the population 
>whose support in achieving tactical and strategic 
>objectives is required.

Of course the American Army envisions a battle 
between armies in a urban are in which almost all
civilians have fled. One wonders if the Israelis 
have read the entire book and considered the 
likely hood of slaughtering mass numbers of
trapped civilians? Whose strategic goals would 
that serve?
