"No stupid rules of engagement, no nation building quagmire, no democracy building exercise, no politically correct wars. We fight to win, and we don't waste time or lives," Hegseth said.

Words of your Secretary of War, not mine.

This is not a woke war. This is a war where you bomb schools and kill children.

The ridiculous renaming to "Department of War" supports this attitude, as well. They're declaring to everyone our intent to be belligerents. That the US military is meant to be aggressors and instigators, rather than defenders. All signs point to an administration bent on aggression and destruction.

I mean, to be fair, the US always has been the instigators, but it's now official, something this administration is proud of.

And? It's quite a leap to take from that statement that they intentionally bombed a school. In fact, if they were trying to bomb schools, then it's quite the coincidence that they missed all the rest, and just happened to hit the one that used to be a military base.

They made it as clear as possible they don't give a shit about collateral damage. You have some very immense reading difficulties.

I also never said they especially cared about collateral damage, try not to project your opinions onto other people's comments.

And schools, hospitals, aid workers, etc have of course been "khamas" and "irgc" to these two invaders so that's hardly surprising.

Aka they don't care about innocent deaths, they want to cause deaths.
