Doing war stuff is war. War is when you do war stuff.

The idea that we can separate these two is gibberish.

    I agree, international law does not agree and the congressional power to declare was does not agree.

    Bombing kids is war stuff, we're at war imo we're just not in a declared war.

    A distinction without a difference.

    I will say I agree to some extent with your earlier comment. They aren’t people. They are government equipment and they should be treated as such. Every soldier suffering on their warship deserves this. I hope they regret this.

    I agree, our perception or opinion doesn't change reality.

    I don't agree there, they're usually poor kids trying to leave situations or areas that are problematic for them. Hate the war not the warrior, some kid who's brain isn't fully developed trying to get out of poverty isn't my main concern the system is.

    By this logic I shouldn't hate ICE agents either.

    Not the same demographic statistically, those are overwhelmingly middle age with no military or leo experience. They're racists signing up to do racist shit for money with fully developed brains or as fully developed as they're going to get.
