That it takes a certain moral sensibility to recognize the difference between unavoidable civilian casualties and slaughtering 45 people over a couple of hours with NO combatant casualties on either side. The aggressors in that case were clearly just shooting at anything, regarding that part of Afghanistan as a free fire zone.
One must give up any idea of morality to write ROE which allow this thing to happen over a matter of hours - some reports said 4 hours.
And I believe you do not regard it as immoral. Since it is, ya have to wonder why someone could truly not see that. Not a pretty picture.
I believe you. You do not regard this slaughter of civilians immoral. Or any other similar slaughter, where there is a military and they claim they were shot at, even with no evidence. And any military can claim that at any time.
