    It is neither my place, nor my responsibility to physically take part in this conflict. However, it certainly IS my place and responsibility, as a human being, to say that purposefully killing innocent civilians and blowing up functional hospitals is evil. Yes, even when there is a bad guy hiding inside.

        So, in your mind, rules of engagement allow destroying civilian infrastructure that currently hosts many civilians so you can kill a handful of bad guys?

          Article 19 of Geneva states that if a hospital is being used to store military equipment and active military combatants, then it loses its protection.

      It’s your responsibility to actually know what is happening before you spout false things online.
