Because this is war and not a SWAT police operation? If soldiers in the field have reason to believe the enemy is in a building and call in air support to bomb

Because this is war and not a SWAT police operation?
If soldiers in the field have reason to believe the enemy is in a building and call in air support to bomb it, no part of that is a war crime. Even if someone later goes and discovers the people in that building were actually preschoolers; what matters is what the people in the field making the decisions knew at that moment.

- ThalesX 3y ago> what matters is what the people in the field making the decisions knew at that moment This is insane. What matters is the objective truth, whether or not dozens of preschoolers were killed due to an operational mistake.
