>That's not how collateral damage works. Not according to the Red Cross: https://www.icrc.org/en/document/protection-hospitals-during... Otherwise protected targets like hospitals lose their protected status if they're used as a base of military operations or for other similar purposes. And the US didn't send a spec ops team to get Bin Laden because they were worried about the Geneva Conventions. They sent one because they wanted to make absolutely certain that they got their target (see Bin Laden's escape at Tora Bora in 2001 for an example of this) and because they were operating in Pakistan so showing up with a whole brigade or carpet bombing the compound wouldn't have gone over well with the Pakistani government. It already didn't go over well with just a surgical strike by spec ops, it would have been much worse if it was done by a larger show of force. |
