False dilemma. There are ways to react that don't involve shooting children.

Even if there weren't, I wouldn't say "yeah shoot some children."

You're misrepresenting my position. It's, "yeah definitely shoot the terrorist, try to avoid shooting their hostages if you can."

[–] TigrisMorte@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago

That isn't an option atm so just a pointless strawman being propped up.

My dude, you're arguing that a certain amount of shooting children is okay. If you can't see how this is a problem I don't know what else to say.

As are you? If they don't take out the military targets, kids die. It's essentially lose lose for the civilans, but one course of action leads to bot prolonging child murder.

Nope. Preemptive killing is not justifiable. No children are saved by the killing of these children.
In fact all that is being done is assuring the next generation of terrorists.
