Spare me, there's nothing difficult about deciding whether or not to blow up hospitals and children. This mission is not about freeing people from terror and was never about that. Rather, quite the opposite, we are there to terrorize them into being profitable to the hegemony. The propaganda about minimizing casualties is to keep civilians protected from the atrocities that they are sponsoring.

Are you sure there is nothing difficult about that? When you're reasoning against your own hospitals, and your own children? When a nightmare of a human being keeps his own children near him as human shields?

If I'm to understand correctly, "We" are there to blow up hospitals and terrorize children, but also create propaganda to protect civilians from feeling bad?

Can you describe to me this large, tens of thousands at least, group of people that murders children on purpose but also cares about the feelings of all civilians? Specifically, without reinforcing the point that you'd be responding based on a tiny fraction of the intelligence that goes into these decisions.

You're fantasizing.

The bombing of the Doctors Without Borders hospital wasn't some ethical decision between good and bad, rather it was military members getting orders to bomb a target, not being able to find the target but deciding to bomb a near by building because...that's just it, they didn't have a reason. Now, being the good guys the US punished these war criminals right? Not really, wrist slaps and nothing more.
