do you know what happens if military does not have a system to find and target specific people in a building? they just might need to bring down the whole building. everyone in it might die but at least your conscience is clean.

So really, we're all murderers for not helping them to murder more carefully? No.

Even the wording of this question conflates a soldier killing a soldier during a conflict (which is objectively not murder) with the wanton execution of civilians with no regard to collateral or preventable damage, which is a war crime. And completely ignores the existence of a middle ground where a high-value military target is killed, preventative measures are taken to limit civilian casualties, and some civilians are killed despite those measures. That is not good but it's also not murder, and not a war crime.

I would love to have an honest, thoughtful discussion about how a war can be prosecuted between two powers with minimal civilian harm, but it's not possible when people aren't even honest about what constitutes murder and what doesn't.

Honestly, this just Roko's Basilisk but even dumber.

They pay a military aged male to point a PEQ at the guy.
