Collateral Damage

It's not that I disagree with all of the military's goals. I think you're missing the point if you start questioning my motives with accusations of masochism. I just don't believe in collateral damage as a legitimate part of any solution.

What bothers me most is when the goal isn't necessary. At that point the collateral damage becomes more outrageous. One other thing is when the damage was foreseen. A general in his high thrown sees the solution but also sees the villagers who won't make it and goes through with the operation anyways. I feel like I have to oppose this decision on principle, even if I benefit from the action.

More than anything I feel like existence itself is an experiment with a good goal but too much collateral damage and I find myself fundamentally opposed.
