Re: War Even Uglier When Children Are the Enemy . . .
War is always an ugly affair; both the victors as well as the vanquished. All participants in war carry scars if they survive.
The greatest mercy is to wage war in an effective and decisive fashion to limit the suffering. Pulling teeth slowly doesn't make for the most humane dentistry.
But please, have the chickenhawks give up the cheerleader rah rah. Show some decency for those that will be injured or killed to pay for the political failures of their leaders that made war the only recourse.
I fear this is no roadmap to achieving a just society.
