What are you talking about?

The US never bombed (South) Korea and they certainly didn't win the air war against North Korea.

Back when North and South Korea were Korea, the US killed more than 10% of the civilian population and razed every building of what is now North Korea.
I would suggest that should be a little less acceptable in the era of precision weaponry.
