s/o "religion of peace" - collateral damage question

When we go after Muslim Fundamentalists, ISIS, Al Quaida, etc.,

the people who happily kill, kidnap, and torture children and other random civilians,

 

We seem to try hard to avoid collateral damage.

Why?

and

Should we??

It's a tricky one. Certainly, there are SOME people in those areas who are actually helping us--the Kurds, for instance.

In the main, though, the Hungarian president got it right when he said this:

"If you are able to fight the Hungarian police in Europe, why can't you fight ISIS?"

MOST of the so-called refugees are single males. I can't remember the exact percentage, but it's way more than it should be if it's just a bunch of random people fleeing violence. If they TRULY are innocent, then they can get on the right side of this and fight for their homelands.


I do think we have to be less concerned about it. Unless our troops deliberately kill unarmed women and children--then we have to stop punishing them when collateral damage occurs. He!!, one guy got kicked out of the fvcking army for going after a PEDOPHILE.

If they aren't willing to stand up for themselves, behave themselves, quit supporting regimes that are against basic human freedoms and rights--then I don't much care if there is some "collateral damage".

Well, I could agree with you--but then we'd both be wrong.

When it comes to ISIS, what is the collateral damage? Women either supporting them or being held and tortured by them who will eventually be killed anyway? Children who will be raised to be the same hateful killing machines?

Yes, I realize that is cold and hard, but war is war.

A moral people is going to consider those things. However, when you go to war, you do not do it lightly. There WILL be collateral damage. But, you are going to war because you know that if you don't, there will be far, far more innocent people killed. Sorry, be we cannot be so naïve as to live in the Liberal World of La La Land where everything fits into a 30 minute sitcom narrated by John Stewart. Some things in life are very hard.

Carpet-bombing was a critical tool in destroying the Nazi's ability to make weapons. No one cared about the factory workers and other civilians killed.

The Nukes used to flatten two cities in Japan were a quick method of doing the same thing.

 

We could carpet bomb everything taken over by ISIS, leaving them with no cities, no oil fields, no people to control.
