It isn’t.

I think people should take some courses on war crimes. I have.

Accidentally hitting the wrong building is not a war crime. Even if that building is marked with a Red Cross.

People need to realize war is shit. It’s not a video game. People die, buildings get destroyed, and crying war crime is stupid.

We should try to avoid wars whenever it’s possible.

If you are naive enough to think that a bombing a "jam-packed refugee camp" was an honest mistake, then I have a bridge to sell you, going very very cheap.

That is an easy way to say you never served in the military.

While movies show the military as a well-oiled machine flawless in execution, in the real world, it is functional chaos.

Mistakes happen.

Actually it does.

Can you cite the section of the law violated?

@wintermute_oregon I don't think 'bombing hospitals isn't *technically* a war crime' really makes either you or the people you're defending out to be real heroes.
