Removed. You have it backwards:
“Even if only one of these people are combatants I would argue it’s justified for everyone’s safety”
In actuality it should be “Even if only one of these people are innocents I would argue it’s not justified for everyone’s human dignity.”
I understand what you’re saying but this is a different reality. The world you’re talking about needs a certain degree of civility to before it can be seen as reasonable. I know you won’t like this but being a soldier is usually an occupation. The job is to keep things secure. This is for both your own wellbeing and to complete the objective because everyone wants to finish the job and go home safely at the end of the day. Unfortunately sometimes it’s impossible to consider everyone’s feelings in every situation. I agree 100% that if you were a totally innocent person and you got rounded up and stripped it would be absolutely bullshit and unfair. I also think if you were a soldier following orders and you had half your face and arm blown off you would think that was unfair as well
It requires no civility to say that any chance of the persecution of innocents is not allowed. 1 in 20? 19 in 20? Doesn’t matter.
With all due respect you are living on another planet. If you care about respecting the innocence of people who have a high potential of trying to/about to kill you im sure there’s no shortage of openings for those occupations.
Innocent people are innocent people, period. You don’t treat them as having ANY potential for trying to kill you. THEY’RE INNOCENT PEOPLE.
How do you know though?
Everyone is PRESUMED INNOCENT. You don’t prove innocence, you prove guilt.
