    See that’s the difference though. A genocide isn’t a complete disregard for civilian life. Genocide pretty specifically regards civilian life because the civilians themselves are the targets. Callous indifference isn’t the same a genocide. You can say I’m being pedantic, but words matter. Calling it genocide when it doesn’t fit the definition not only cheapens the word, it also cheapens your message.
