    It’s not okay, but their reasoning is:

    We have to rescue out citizens who have been taken hostage.

    To do that we will send in troops.

    To make it safe for the troops we will level all existing structures.

    Dead civilians aren’t our responsibility because they are not our people.

    It’s ghoulish, if someone kidnapped a family and hid in the basement of my apartment, no one reasonable would support demolishing the building with people inside their homes to get at them.

      Really weird to carpet bomb a country BEFORE doing anything about hostages that were taken there especially when the country is smaller than the state of Rhode Island by almost a factor of 10. Other countries have already gotten people freed, Israel was busy putting the hostages in danger.

        Add on to that the REFUSAL TO ACCEPT HOSTAGES because “we don’t want your dirty bargaining chips (our citizens)”. Yeah, really fucking weird.
