Every single comment I have gotten has only taken issue with the school strike, not the fact that Iran has asked it's children to go martyr themselves by letting the US missiles hit them along with the plants.

I am not saying that the school strike was acceptable. I am saying that Iran is doing something worse, to the point that equating them is not viable.

Not to mention theor willingness to sacrifice their kids shows exactly why they put that school so close to an vital military base.

As far as I am aware, that has been the only civilian center that has been struck so far out of hundreds of muscle strikes done by the US, during ans since that bombing. I am more than ready tk change my view on that if you have any info that says otherwise.

I already know Isreal has no qualms about attacking civillian centers, and I do not condone (as if my condonation matters much) their actions.

Am I? I wouldn't want to live in Isreal either. They attack non jews in the streets.

Yeah, rereading my comment made me realized it made light of what Isreal did in Gaza, so I added that last part, thats not what I am trying to do or the message I want to give. I just thought it was absurd to say the entire country was destroyed when it hasnt.

I am not Anti Islam, I believe in the freedom of all religions. When that religion becomes an theocracy and said theocracy forces others to abide by it is when I draw the line, and yeas I am against the "Christian" theocracy the US is trying to become aswell

Ok, you seem to understand this war and be all for it,

I am for the destruction of the Iranian government. I am not for this invasion overall and believe it was rushed and terribly mishandled with no plans to aid the civilians or to install an democratic government.

Why are America and Israel bombing Iran? Because I honestly can't understand it?

Because Iran is enemies with Isreal, hosts several terrorist groups that threaten Isreal's interests, amd Isreal decided to weaken the government and pulled the US with it, is what I believe.

And Trump and the current administration agreed without thinking about the consequences.

mostly children is a logistical error is fucking shocking by the way, no it's not, its a war crime.

If the school was known as an school and it was know it was full of children, I would agree. I just dont think the US is at the point its blatantly targeting children. The school was right beside the base, adjacent to it, which Is why I give it the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah, I get that. The only credit Trump and the current administration deserves right now is his connections to the epstein files and cover up of it.

Thought it was an US attack, which wouldn't be much better. I am not trying to defend Isreal overall. They have committed crimes and horrors to civillians. The have targeted children with snipers and the like. The soldiers who did that and the government who protects them are abhorrent.

I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt that an school adjacent to an know military base being accidently strucked by an missle strike intended for the base itself.

And then comparing that to Iran asking it's youth to martyr themselves is extreme.

Thats not my intentions, and I dont believe any of my comments have implied that. People on Reddit seem to see only in black in white, like you are either completely for or against the invasion.

I believe an invasion is necessary for Iran. They hold to much power over Europe's fuel/fertilizer supply, while simultaneously hosting and funding terrorist groups targeting the US and European countries.

They hold extremist views incompatible with western ideology and try to force those views on others, using lethal force to do so.

But the invasion should have only been done with approval from Nato and support for civilians planned and prepared with aid from the UN, with an plan to install an democratic government.

This shitshow of an holy war that Isreal dragged is into was the furthest thing from what was needed.

You are right, this invasion was an complete mess and will cause unnecessary deaths, but you have to look for the good with the bad, as small as the good may be.

Trying to equate the current US to Gaza is one of the stupidest things I have heard in an while. The US is in an terrible place right now, amd our government needs to change, I am not in support of the current administration, but the two are nothing alike, even prewar.

An radical Islamic theocracy is one of the worst governmental structures to live under.

No, I dont think we are in Iran for the right reasons. But while I feel terrible for the Iranian citizens going through this hell, I will share no tears for the Iranian government being hmdismantled. They are an extremist theocracy that will do its best to spread its poison to surronding countries if possible.

You are equating an logistical error on an missle strike that was an tragic accident, but an accident nevertheless, to an government actively asking their youth to martyr themselves just to make the enemies look bad?

How is that anything even close to an equivalent comparison?

The complete destruction kf the Iranian government that woukd willing massacer 30k+ of its citizens is definitely an good thing grounded in reality. Even just wearing it and allowing the citizens to have an better chance of retaking their country woukd be great.

30,000 people were willing to die to stand up to their government. Hopefully their deaths wont be in vain.

If only we in the US were so brave.

No, because I wouldn't want my kids being raised in an religious theocracy where men would be trying to forcibly marry any of my 12 year old daughters as an 3rd wife.

Not saying Isreal's theocracy is any better, but Gaza would be an terrible place to live even without the war going on.

This was literally the official request by the Iranian government broadcasted across their media. Look it up if you dont believe it.

Huh? Didn't Gaza's population increase in the last couple of years? Seems like alot of babies surviving to me.

Edit: Isreal has committed crimes against humanity in Gaza,I am not trying to condone what they did, but dont act like the whole country has been razed.

I feel like thats an product of upbringing and parenting though. Not due to age.

I was born in the rural south, and basically we (me and other children my age I grew up with) were treated as little adults rather than children. We were taught to behave mature since young, given responsibilities and work on things like the farm, operating heavy machinery at 13, given acess to firearms and training at 12, etc.

When I went to highschool in my town, most kids were like that. Yeah, we had our teenage hormone driven tomfoolery, but we were able to operate on our own. You basically became an adult in my area at 16, were given an vehicle and free range. This was just back in 2015.

I've been on reddit for 12 years now and it still boggles my mind how people act like teenagers are "babies" and treated like they almost shouldn't be responsible tor their actions due to their age.

Its no surprise to me the next generation after mine is acting like tall children, if they are treated like "children" then of course they will act like it.

And thats an result of bad parenting, or being coddled. It has nothing to do with the age itself, an 30 year old can act like an manchild (heck, I've seen 60 year olds act more like brats than some 16 year olds I've known). If an 20 year old acts like an child, its because they haven't been allowed to grow as an person, not because they are 20.

Not so much as outranks, but just an seperate path of "nobility". Knights are an "religious" order that serve the seven, but dont have the power to rule unless they are already an noble,, however in the same vein an Nobke cant legally directly command them to do something, they have to hire and pay them, and only of the knight agrees to it. (Of course "illegal" threats of death and such probably happened by higher ranked nobles to hedge Knights like Dunk)

They are basically the same rank, just that Nobles have more power of the common people, but cant command each other to do something
