yes, as one who has done just that, I can tell you, sometimes, you are dropping bombs on a lot of unarmed folks.
they targeted the leaders, the fact that one is a couple 5.56, and the other a couple 500lb jdams, really makes it different for you? :lamo
Yes, it does. When dropping bombs on a target, often with fire coming back at you, it is part of war. Once you have a man, and you shoot him, that becomes something very different. That's plain ass murder.
Now, you can bomb places that cross the line. Dresden comes to mind. Civilian populations with no military objective would cause pause. Even our dropping the atomic bombs were questionable decisions that could be rightly questioned. But even they would not be the same as just shooting an unarmed man.
