We are not anonymous, our troops are identified. We do not target non-combatants, though we accept that there will be innocent casualties in wars which may nonetheless be worth fighting. We usually warn, or fight as part of a declared war with an identified enemy. We almost always explain. Our accountability to relatively free media means we must even if we wished not to.
Your remaining comments are irrelevant, since you are comparing what I support with the last century of a couple of country's history. However yes, overall I believe that democracy, proportionate directed force, and defined objectives are massively more a feature of Western and Israeli military action than Islamist terror strikes.
