Tuff question

[Nogungbu73072]

Would you bomb an enemy missle weapon storage if it was next to a childern's hospital

[First Valerian Empire]

Yes. War is horrible and holding punches simply prolongs it. We take the lesser of two evils.

[Galactic Terran Empire]

Definitlely. And if any of our leaders would feel uncomfortable doing so(which is rare) we have sentient AI which will not hesitate.

[Jukraina]

Of course we would. And it is just extra to get destroy enemy children's hospital.
Why it would be problem? They are only enemy people.

[Densaner]

Yes. But I would bomb the hospital as well. War is about killing your enemy in higher numbers than they kill you.

[Ethan Foley]

Yep.

[TaQud]

Yes. Because a "Childern's Hospital" doesn't exist in TaQud

[United Furry Alliance]

Depends is the storage center just storage or does it hold firing capabilities? It would have a been a more desperate option how well is the war going good or horrible we would prefer to capture such facilities but if we can't then boom goes the satellite weapon.

[Afanis]

Yes, bombing the enemy missile storage would save far more lives than it would if not bombing it. Besides, it's the enemies' fault for storing their missiles next to a children's hospital while they're at war. Not very smart.

[Imperium Sidhicum]

Hell, we might even bomb the hospital and leave the missile silo alone just for the lulz of it. Someone crazy enough to deliberately build a children's hospital next to a missile silo deserves what's coming to him, and if the enemy doesn't care about the lives of his children, why should we?

Not to mention that children are enemy resources, their future manpower, and must be destroyed like any other resource - that's the way things are in total war conditions.

[Oceanania]

There are times when so called collateral damage justifies the means. Actioned only if intel is reliable and judgement on 'what happens if we dont' is a real threat to a nations stability or security.

[United Furry Alliance]

Yes, bombing the enemy missile storage would save far more lives than it would if not bombing it. Besides, it's the enemies' fault for storing their missiles next to a children's hospital while they're at war. Not very smart.

But what if its a propanganda campaign so they can receive foreign intervention and label the bomber as evil?

[Murbleflip]

No... my country doesn't have a military, so the only bombs are owned by private citizens.

[Greater Beggnig]

We would give them warning, informing them that we want them to move it away, and if they refused...KABOOOOOOOOM!

[Afanis]

But what if its a propanganda campaign so they can receive foreign intervention and label the bomber as evil?

We don't know the exact circumstances of the OP hypothetical question. He simply asked yes or no, and I said yes. We don't even know who the enmy is, and why we're at war in the first place. If your enemy needs foreign intervention then that means they're probably not winning the war, so that would make me less desperate to defeat them and that would influence my decision wether to bomb or not to bomb the missile storage.

Absolutely.

That can only work if we don't start our own campaign first showing them for the despicable cowards that they are using the poor defenseless children as human shields for their weapon stores.

[Pirate Nation]

No, because those children are the future of the nation.

[Afanis]

No, because those children are the future of the nation.

* the future of the enemy nation.

[Arkhane]

Nope,we won't bomb it for the sake of the children, that would make us no different from the enemy.

[Murbleflip]

Nope, that would make us no different from the enemy.

You're obviously assuming that the enemy are heartless killers of children as well.

[Afanis]

Nope,we won't bomb it for the sake of the children, that would make us no different from the enemy.

So the enemy has bombed one of your children's hospital as well? If so, I would bomb two of theirs and not just the one. You shouldn't be at war mate

[Arkhane]

Nope, that would make us no different from the enemy.

You're obviously assuming that the enemy are heartless killers of children as well.

Obviously, why do you think they would put those weapons near a children's hospital? It can't be a coincidence. They're willing to gamble innocent lives.

If there's one thing I learned about war, its that innocent people are always in the line of fire. To take a life and win the war is very easy, to save a life, that is true power.

[Afanis]

If there's one thing I learned about war, its that innocent people are always in the line of fire. To take a life and win the war is very easy, to save a life, therein lies true power.

That's cute, but I think more lives would be saved by bombing the missile storage than by not bombing it. Sure, you saved the children, but now your capital is on fire and you've lost thousands of people because you failed to protect your nation.

You can be all peace-loving and caring you want, in a war it's either you or they, and you have to choose. People are monsters, I know what I would choose.

EDIT: No one is innocent, ever.

[Blakullar]

Without hesitation. In fact, we'd probably deliberately bomb the hospital as well.

Terrorism is prevalent in Blakullaran military tactics, to force pressure onto the opponent to cave in to our demands, and the fastest sure-fire way to spread panic is to indiscriminately bomb civilians as well as military targets.
