Nitpicking and distraction, Bongo.
That was it's main emphasies. While in other branches the killing of civilians was indeed mostly collateral, sometimes delibaretly, no other "regular" military branch of any nation was so preoccupied with killing civilians as it's main operational goal over such a long period of time. At least none that I know of.
Now you can point out to the various NAZI organisations, but as I said before, be careful with what kind of organisations you want the comparison.
Btw, it is interesting what even the Daily Mail has to write about that topic:
