Harmless....im speculating here because ive never been in the position but i imagine if i was huddled behind a sand dune considering the entrenched enemy a couple hundred yards ahead i would be much more comfortable with the idea of them burning to death than myself and/or a bunch of my buddys getting shot to hell digging them out of there. War is not pretty. At the most basic level the object is to kill the enemys people and break his things and not let him do the same to yours. Dropping flaming death upon him from the sky is a very effective way to do this as well as hopefully breaking his will to fight which will save lives on both sides.
just something to think about.
