Well... that's just stupid, and I hope that someone in the DoD has learned from the incident in Iran and will relocate the schools outside of the base perimeters. I doubt that'll happen somehow.
> 497 other schools targeted
a) You'll have to back that number with a reference.
b) Then demonstrate that they were targeted, not just hit. Good luck with that, unless you work for the DoD and overheard incriminating conversations!
> War crimes are not excused by 'being at war'. That's not how it works.
But war is excused!
It's just incredible to me that people are totally unable to grasp that concept that war isn't some friendly board game, or guns at ten paces, all civilised, orderly, and confined entirely to willing participants. It's the deliberate infliction of death and destruction!
> Many people here have already pointed out to you the many reasons and the many officials calling the first Iranian school bombing out as a war crime
They pointed at a error, not a crime.
A terrible, terrible error, but not a crime under international law, to which the US mostly hasn't even signed up to!
