How is it bad? Imagine a world where instead of sending hundreds of thousands young men to die, countries would just launch targeted attacks on the head of enemy's state.
- jiggawatts 8mo agoThe powerful people that set the rules have made it unacceptable to kill powerful people. Powerless people? Into the meat grinder!
- impossiblefork 8mo agoThey're civilians, for one.
- oytis 8mo agoAre they? In most countries the head of the state is also army's commander-in-chief.
- impossiblefork 8mo agoYes, but these are traditionally not treated as actual soldiers, but civilians commanders-in-chief-in-name-only.

- hattimaTim 8mo agoWould you say the same if iran killed trump?
- oytis 8mo agoI cannot confirm or deny that I would say the same thing
- OkayPhysicist 8mo agoThis isn't the gotcha you think it is. Most people in my social circles have a bottle waiting for a date.
