    Yup, after seeing a University student trying to point out the Civilian toll, I remember WWII - did everyone forget Dresden?

    Laws of war are designed to make it somehow more civilised - but the more we see war, the more we see that it really cannot be ‘more civilised’ and that the ‘fog of war’ is a bitch.

      A lot of horrendous shit happened in WWII.

      It’s not something any of us should seek to emulate.

      In fact, it provided the impetus for making more international laws against it.

      Is it really ‘fog of war’ when you’re intentionally bombing places like hospitals and refugee camps because tHeRe aRe cOmMaNdErS HiDiNg aMoNgSt tHe cIvIlIaNs?

        It’s not against the Geneva Conventions, because dispite you trusting a terrorist group more than a western country, Hamas does in fact do that and are proud of it.

          It’s not that I trust a terrorist group, I just look down on ANYONE that intentionally bombs hospitals and refugee camps.
