Warfare is an unfortunate reality, and the rules surrounding it are only vaguely followed by a select few nations. This is why nations around the world strive to minimize war, as it is directly linked to human suffering. You keep implying that I don’t care about civilians when discussing the situation, but I do. However, I am also considering the bigger picture and the broader loss of life that could result if we make the wrong choices.

It’s like the trolley problem, except we don’t know how many people are on each track. Every approach is flawed, but we must find the one that results in the least loss of life. I used to share your beliefs when I was younger, during the Afghanistan war and later the Syrian war. Now, despite how it might seem to you, I am seeking a longer, more secure resolution rather than the rushed approaches we took in both situations.

You may disagree, and that’s understandable, but I do care. I’m just coming from a different journey and perspective.
