Hell hath frozen over……
Here you have a quite reasonable post from……drum roll please…..Daily Kos….on collateral damage during a war.
But I have another bone to pick with these leaders that are unable to control their own citizens, provide security within their own countries, and demand US backing and support with both troops and huge amounts of money and materials. Our troops. Troops that die, daily. And, money. Money out of my pocket, and yours.
What fantasy allows anyone to posture that civilian deaths during a shooting war are “unjustifiable”? Civilians get caught in the cross fire. Civilians are in the wrong place at the wrong time. Civilians die. Yes, women and children, too. And pets, and farm animals, and rare and endangered species. Anything on a battle ground is in immediate danger of a bloody death.
If you are squeamish, Sir, about this simple fact, stop the damned war.
I’m not going to bother looking for a quote from Bush’s years. I’m sure you can imagine.
