Do you even understand what you are saying with 'take them out with bullets, not bombs'?

Do you want to get (or give) the order to attack a single house in a city that houses an enemy willing to die and take the city block with him? Where the enemy has observation posts scattered for miles around their location so they have sufficient warning to vacate or prepare for your 'surprise attack' and attack your column in and out of the objective?

Not me! Using a missile or artillery is just fine for nearly anyone that has been on the receiving end of hostile fire.
