Some children being killed is an inevitable part of war. Do you agree with the statement "No war has ever been worth the results."? If yes, then okay end of conversation. But if not then we need to talk about acceptable mistake rates and where this falls, because zero mistakes is not possible. Note that I am not defending the strike here, I'm saying that the criticism needs more depth.

Would you mind sharing a handful of examples where, from your perspective, a war was worth its results?

Killing children is a war crime, and not an inevitable part of war.

I don’t need to hear deep arguments to be convinced that it’s not ok to kill my children/bomb their school.
