    Yes? What kind of question is that? If you answer no to that you’re saying I’m no better than them, and if you’re ok with that then what is your moral high ground here?

        How good of you to put words in my mouth. I would not kill your children if you killed mine. You’re fair game but I’m not gonna shoot your children and any other children nearby to get to you. This is not a tricky moral question.

          question was:

          What if they were shooting your kids while hiding behind their own?

          and your reply was

          yes

          albeit with a question mark, but you followed by explicitly refuting the “no” answer

          If you answer no to that you’re saying I’m no better than them, and if you’re ok with that then what is your moral high ground here?

          what exactly am i putting in your mouth?

            I don’t know how to explain to you that it’s wrong to kill their kids even if they’ve killed your kids. Especially when you seem determined to misconstrue anything I write.

              even if they’ve killed your kids.

              they have killed your kids and THEY ARE GOING TO KILL MORE YOUR KIDS.

              when you seem determined to misconstrue anything I write

              i am literally quoting you. what is there to misconstrue?

      Would you let them keep doing it while insisting that reprisals are off limits?

      Yes

      Nice of you to value their citizens’ lives above your own. I doubt that will be much of a consolation for your countrymen that you’re willing to sacrifice to violence. Expect more human shields in the future now that you’ve proven the tactic so effective.

      What kind of question is that?

      A moral dilemma.

      If you answer no to that you’re saying I’m no better than them, and if you’re ok with that then what is your moral high ground here?

      If you answered no to that I’d say you’re honestly assessing the grim realities of war, where the goal is to pacify the enemy without sacrificing your own people, even if that may result in collateral damage.

        the question wasn’t about your citizens, it was about your kids. which makes his answer even more laughable.
