I didn't relay want to rebut your claims, because your posts are totally one sided. I see no reason to debate a subject with someone, who has a closed mind. I dont relay get involved with politics. Like everyone else on here, I know very little about this situation.
This post, & the post I made earlier was a personal view, based on my experience as a soldier, & a guy who`s sick & tired of conflict. One of the reasons this conflict is not easily resolvable is because no one will let the past go. They, like you, prefer to wallow in the past, & drag up as much crap as they can to bolster their arguments.
Both sides believe they are right, & no one will actually listen to the other without arguing the toss. Their time would be better spent trying to find a solution to the problem, than to keep dragging up the past.
I asked peeps not to question me regarding "Acceptable civilian casualties". You did. There is no answer. It depends on so many variables, & the importance of the task. I am not a military planner. However, there are, & have been, tasks where civilian casualties are acceptable. Army officers also have the power to deploy their own men, in situations where death is certain.
Every Officers duty is to his soldiers, & the task in hand. There is nothing more important to them, than a successful mission. This conflict is not solely about the Gaza. The world is dividing, countries are taking sides. The repercussions of this conflict are global. Personally, I want it to stop, right now. But as long as there are flag wavers & soapbox merchants, I cant see it happening.
