THEY ARE EQUAL WHEN IT COMES TO THE RESPONSE.
The death of a 60 year old by a bomb should not get less of a response than an 8 year old killed by a bomb.
You suggested the response was overkill. My point was it was not. These guys are using improvised military ordnance. We don’t know all the facts, how many jihadis there are, where they are, etc.
What are you suggesting the response should be? A boy scout troop?
Or are you just having some conspiracy daydream? This is real right now. People died today. The time for politics is later. The only thing on the agenda right now should be a dirtnap for these scumbags.
