CNN’s Wolf Blitzer seemed at a lost of words at the justification being used to bomb a refugee camp in Gaza.

    The truth is very hard to swallow. I served in Iraq and Afghanistan, I’ve witnessed this stupidity first hand. Terrorists are cowards who hide behind civilians. They want civilians to die because for every civilian killed they gain more bodies to their cause.

      So so very close to piecing together why bombing a refugee camp even if there are terrorists or supporting infrastructure located there is a terrible idea.

      I truly don’t know how you can recognize that Hamas wants civilians to die because it will strengthen their numbers, and still excuse the bombing of civilians. Perhaps you’re just trolling?

      This explains so much about all the shit you’re smearing all over Lemmy. You just miss murdering Arabs.

        I am an engineer, I built schools, hospitals, and other public services. Few military personnel serve in combat roles.

            I don’t support either side of the conflict.

                I don’t support either side. Both sides have made no effort towards diplomacy. Both sides have focused on violence.

          Lol and you get downvoted because you’re not meeting the bloodthirsty soldier narrative that Lemmy’s unemployed communists love to parrot.

            You’re probably correct. I’m rather antiwar and pro diplomacy.

      Yes, I’ve heard the US operation in Iraq was very successful in defeating the Taliban. Oh wait…

        The Taliban are in Afghanistan and the U.S. mission was never against them, ever. Perhaps you should look up basic information first.

          Oh, was Iraq justified with Saddam’s “weapon’s of mass destruction” that didn’t exist? Sorry, got my lies mixed up.

            Iraq was GWB wanting to make his daddy proud. On the ground things were fine until his dumbass fired the entire Iraqi military. That’s when it all went to hell. It did lead to a United Iraq, but it took 12 years.

      I can’t help but parrot exactly what @V17 said. People just don’t want to hear the realities of war.
