Honestly, if planes really could talk, Buff would know. The B-52 rained a shitstorm of death on civilians in Vietnam. Hanoi and other cities to the North got rocked to the socks by phantoms and what not. We didn’t target civilians, but our weapons then weren’t nearly as accurate as they are now. We were after industrial infrastructure, which tends to be in or around cities. The IDF isn’t targeting civilians, but the war zone is in a freaking city full of civilians. We must remember that the IDF didn’t choose this ground, Hamas did. I’m not good at moral calculus but it seems to me that Hamas ultimately bears responsibility for dead civilians whether Palestinians or Israelis. (The part that gets fuzzy is seventy years of history, where Israel has been attacked by its Arab neighbors multiple times while also mistreating the Palestinians terribly in the occupied territories. Anyway, what we have seen isn’t genocide, no matter what gullible leftists or isolationist (and gullible) MAGAs are saying. I appreciate the fact that the IDF has to root out the evil weed of Hamas, but we have to recognize that it won’t solve the bigger issues: The Palestinians having self rule and sovereignty, Israel having security, and, well, Iran. Iran is behind Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist groups. If the Israelis and Palestinians can’t find a solution, there’s just going to be a Hamas 2.0 sooner or later (and my money is on sooner).

I respect Habitual Line Crosser as much as the next guy, but remember he is a career military guy and with while he's really good at showing how powerful our military is, our military is also been really good at propaganda. So this channel has a non 0% chance of being propaganda. Today's age of warfare will also be fought online, and other countries have realized it (ex. Israel paying for ad space on Twitter, Russian propaganda pieces saying how much they've destroyed/conquered of Ukraine) I don't doubt any of what he's saying but always be skeptical of anything.

"Wars are not won on the field of combat. Battles are, but those are only ever part of the story. To win a war you need to break the enemy's resolve, to force him to accept defeat. Otherwise the war will never end. Too many conflicts persist because battles are won but the hearts and minds of the people are not. Winning involves every level of society, from the generals and politicians to the shop girls and street cleaners. The infantryman with his rifle may be the blunt weapon used to win this fight, but he is neither the instigator nor the concluder. ” - Precentor Martial Anastasius Focht, 3058 (Battletech) A wonderful quote. Also, when read by Tex of BPL, it's chilling. Pretty fitting how it seems people forget war isn't subtle and it's gonna involve everyone.

It's a bit of a big example, but also look at China and the Uyghurs and what China wants to do with the Taiwanise: when does the world say that targeted slaughter of innocents with no military targets is enough?

With the deaths from the blitz, you missed a VERY, VERY good opportunity to REALLY make your point: Britain lost an estimated 40,000-60,000 in the blitz, as Germany mostly focused on factories and supply lines. It was not only to be efficient about their bombing runs, but also because the English, being descendants of Anglo-Saxons, are the 'Right kind of white' that the Nazis wanted, so they wanted to minimize civilian deaths to minimize blood feud between the two nations. It's when Britain retaliated that you get to the crux I'm aiming for; Britain targeted civilian housing to enact mass deaths as a means to destabilize Germany, resulting in an estimated 550-600,000 deaths despite a much shorter window of bombing than when Germany bombed Britain. I think this much better shows your entire point that even 'the good guys' tended to be very violent and direct in driving a knife into the heart of an enemy nation, so that the war can be won with minimal loss. The script, in my opinion, would have been better as: "United Kingdom, how many civilians did you lose in the London Blitz?" "Tragically, over 40,000." "And how many Germany civilians were lost to your firebombing of worker's quarters?" "...Over 500,000. My God, he's right." It only really works if the "Good Guy" UK recognizes that to end evil, they maximized deaths. Otherwise, it seems a bit weird to use only the deaths of the UK civilians to justify the doctrine of maximizing enemy deaths, because Germany Lost the War.
