Glad you're not in charge. Maybe you feel cool saying you'd ok an operation which would result in the deaths of more innocents, but that's an abhorrent position.
Say some piece of shit country would drop nuclear bombs on a city full of civilians, and I should not do the same back because for morality? Will not that encourage that evil country t drop more nuclear bombs?
What is your opinion then, if you are losing a way with an enemy that plays dirty you give up and accept your annihilation? Your children will be brainwashed by the enemy and send t fight more evil wars.
