They weren’t throwing rocks. They weren’t shooting a rifle. They were shooting missiles.

Again, the soldier who fired that missile would have no idea what sort of building he’s been ordered to strike. That soldier is sitting in a command center somewhere, miles away from the front line, feeding coordinates into a targeting system.

And, yes, grunts are usually treated EXACTLY like toddlers, especially in military court. That’s why they’re called “grunts”. They are trained to follow orders. They are trained to push the button without question. THAT’S THEIR JOB.

Now, if a grunt is given an order which directly violates the military law, they can refuse. So, if their commanding officer said “Hey, I want you to kill those 170 underage civilians”, then the grunt can (and should) say “Hell no, sir”. That wasn’t the case here. There’s no reason for the grunt to refuse the order, because the grunt is just targeting a building, with a missile.

The future comes down to one thing - management.

Humans have inhabited Ukraine since 32,000 BC. - Wikipedia

Ukraine, the official country, is just some lines drawn on a map. The people, the culture, the history has been around for thousands and thousands of years.

Unfortunately, it’s not entirely up to Trump. Iran isn’t going to back down just because Trump is all* “Oh, jk, lol!” *

160 Iranian schoolgirls were killed by an American missile strike. Trump is still in denial. How do you suppose that sits with the Iranian people?

For what? How could they possibly know that it was a school? They aren’t privy to the intel. They are on a boat or a base, maybe hundreds of miles away. They receive an order to fire on a location and follow the order.

That’s exactly what they signed up for. Grunt work. Following orders.

The guy with his finger on the trigger wasn’t told a goddamn thing. Conversation went like this:

“Fire on these coordinates.”

“Yessir.”

Because soldiers follow orders.

How would that soldier know that the school was filled with children? He’s sitting 100 miles away, on a boat. His commanding officer gives him a set of coordinates to fire upon. The soldier follows orders, because that’s his only job.

Loo at American history. This really is business as usual, sad as it might be.

Don’t “save”.

Invest.
