“Dust off the ol’ bunkerbusters.”

This is one of the major differences between terrorist groups and, so called, moral countries. You don’t destroy civilians.

Of course, terrorist groups don’t care, they don’t wear uniforms identifying themselves and they invite death so everyone else should also or they are not with them. And they only use civilians when they need them. Otherwise they build the civilians the roads, schools, libraries, and those hospitals they use for cover during conflict. This is why they are allowed to stay.

But doesn’t it seem a little hypocritical when we bombed civilians in Europe during WWI and II, Vietnam, Iraq...come to think of it, we have bombed civilians for a little over a hundred years with the first known civilian death in 1915.

And that doesn’t count the accidents that happened when using balloons before that. It’s a war. That’s how it works. And trying to be moral will get you or your family killed.

Like Patten said, “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.” And the pain and suffering is what makes war too detestable to wage.

There are no civilians in war. Especially in Gaza.
