I don’t need to hear deep arguments to be convinced that it’s not ok to kill my children/bomb their school.

  Can you answer the question though? It's not a trick question, I want to see where you're coming from. And it's not about whether it's "okay".

    I didn’t answer it because you’re framing it as the end-all be-all of this discussion when it’s bordering on a strawman argument.

      Which part do you think is a strawman? Because one of the people that replied to me does appear to think that no war has ever been worth the results. It's a legitimate point of view, and that's why I asked if it was your point of view. For the rest of this post I'm assuming it's not your point of view. I'm very much not trying to strawman you, I'm trying to improve your argument. If any wars are considered "worth it, morally speaking", then single mistakes can't be enough to invalidate the war. We need to talk about how many mistakes happen and how they happen. We need to say how much is too much, and "zero mistakes" is not compatible with "some wars are worth it". The idea that we could have both in the real world is self-deception.
