Wikileaks Collateral Murder Video

[=sw=warlord]

And warlord where did I try to compare modern day to ww2 I was pointing out that fact that we've come a very long way from our once "accurate" methods of warfare during ww2 and how people forget that the amount of civilian casualties during that war were catstrophic, yet no one complains about that.

Right here.

This is war guys, this is what happens. What the fuck do you think happened during ww2. You think innocent deaths are high now? Think back to the days of carpet bombing, random artillery strikes, IN CENTRAL EUROPE. We should be happy how low the civilian casualties have gotten.

You're comparing event's that happened before the birth of the modern computer, the technology then and now are severely different in comparison.
Many people hold a day of remembrance each year to honour those lost during the wars, So don't even think about trying to pull that clause.
Accidents imply there was careful thought put into the actions and remorse for the results, the video shows in graphic detail neither of those were present and then the military tried covering it's own back in the hopes of being able to sweep the incident under the carpet without having to own up responsibility.

. Like I said- people make mistakes, and mistakes are bad, but that doesn't mean the people who made the mistakes are bad.

By that very logic, someone who intentionally committed a crime and then after everything is done and dusted decided maybe it wasn't such a good idea after all but later had remorse should be considered an accident purely because the act was made in haste and impulse with no accountability.
