Bit of a continued threadjack:
There were many native american 'cities' destroyed by the US Military. Does that count as fighting in cities? Or is that different? Pretty sure that was policy. Roachboy already mentioned that...
I get tired of mythology of the United States. We have done more good than any country in history. A good honest look at our crappy decisions and poor choices doesn't detract a bit from the great stuff.
An unwillingness to look at the bad stuff we've done just sets us up to do more of it. We're never going to have slaves again. We're never going to round up differnet nationalities and put them in camps. Our 'bad things' morph and vary in severity. But pretending that they can't happen is foolishness.
Nothing is black and white in politics or human behavior. And I would have said that's pretty obvious when looking at the middle east. But I continue to be amazed at how black and white that is for so many.
