Thanks God this general was not in charge against Germany in WWII. We could have lost.
Actually the USAAF policy of precision bombing was focused on hitting the industrial targets with the most bombs and destroying specific locations. the RAF policy of night area bombing was “carpet bombing” where they overflew a city and dropped their bombs hoping to hit industrial targets but also intent on inflicting as much other i.e. collateral, damage as possible.
thus, LTG MacFarland is inline with the US bombing theories used in Europe during WWII.
