Necessary or not, I've never believed in the Machiavellian philosophy that the ends justify the means. If we really have reached this point...that this is the only way to win...then we've already lost.
I know that this is all scripted somehow, and the military must have determined that this course yields an advantage, but in my opinion this is beyond wrong. I've lived overseas through 2 coups in my lifetime. Whatever the cost, that honest, direct approach of just moving in, arresting the criminals, and dealing with the public backlash was always the only correct way to handle this. This psychological warfare is a crime against humanity, and participating in it makes us as bad as the people we are fighting.
I take solace in the fact that at least we don't abuse and kill children.
If it was done that way the black hats could launch a nuke or whatever else they have up their sleeves. Trust me I wish we could just do that because I don’t care about normies but this isn’t about us.
People must feel the pain to understand because it’s not just the criminals who caused this. This all happened because the majority of the population allowed it to happen. Modern society is broken in every way shape and form. This is a spiritual war not just removing criminals.
That would be beyond awful...but that would be THEM causing death and acting criminally against innocent civilians. You can not control someone else's actions. Only your own. This psychological war we are engaged in is US committing crimes against humanity.
I get the argument. I just can't agree with it, even if the selected approach yields the optimal outcome. How we preserve life and liberty is in many ways more important than the actual act of preserving it. WE are causing suffering with the excuse that it is to prevent more suffering. I can't get behind that no matter what the consequences or how much suffering it prevents.
And I will continue to believe that even if it means myself or my family become the victims.
Not at all. I never said anything about appearing noble. I'm not sure where you got that. Kinetic wars only affect the body. The worst that can happen is death. This psychological war damages the soul. Even death doesn't erase that. By some measures, it is far, far worse.

you'd let your family suffer just to appear noble? that is the opposite of noble
