    You should really read that definition of avoid. Because you keep using it as an absolute term when it very much is not.

    And I don’t care if you were some white coat back in the States. I was on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan. If we weren’t worried about avoiding civilian casualties we wouldn’t have gotten out with so few.

          you can always choose whether to pull the trigger. “following orders” is not a defense.

          also, that doesn’t change whether the us avoids killing civillians. they clearly do not.

            Following orders is not a defense… To a warcrime. Are you expecting everyone to be psychic now? They’re all supposed to magically know the intelligence was faked at the highest levels?

            And you guys are back to just repeating bullshit. I don’t even know why I’m still engaging in this whataboutism with you. Nobody is claiming civilian casualties in the US strikes while the Houthis have exclusively attacked civilian ships with civilian crews. Nobody is reading down this far anymore. So yeah I’m done here. You can shout into the void about things you clearly have no idea about.

              maybe you can apologize to the other user for lying about whether the us avoids killing civillians before you leave.

                    Again! He did it again! These are the exact same keyboard warrior demands you made earlier. And they are still hilarious to me.
