      The 9/11 attacks killed 3,000 civilians. Our attack on and 18 year occupation of Afghanistan has killed 38,000 civilians. WTF are we doing?https://twitter.com/VeraMBergen/status/1174672009122525184 …

      6/ "Should" is an idiot word, 99.99% of the time. If you had the power to do X, you'd do X. Since you don't, you don't. "I wish that X" is a fine sentence. "He / she / it should do X" is just an expression of powerlessness. Oh, they should? OK, make them. You can't? I see.

      7/ First, the Geneva Conventions (plural, there are more than one) do not apply not because they hide among civilians, but because they are not signatories to the Geneva Conventions. Second, one should read the Geneva Conventions. They're interesting.https://twitter.com/ThunderB/status/1174744272387678208 …

      Hiding among civilian populations will always dramatically increase civilian deaths Thats why its a violation of the established Laws of Armed Conflict or LOAC Its why theyre unlawful enemy combatants. Its why the Geneva convention doesnt apply

          10/ Would I bet a trillion dollars the numbers are perfect? Of course not. But "LOL, your Taliban numbers are conflated w civilian numbers" when they're not, followed by rapid backpedalling to "well, LOL, wikipedia" is !@#-ing retarded. Lobbing ad hoc pot shots is retarded.

          11/ I said that the US War in Afghanistan is stupid and immoral because we've killed about 10x the number of civilians there that we killed here by A̶f̶g̶h̶a̶n̶i̶ Saudi terrorists. The responses are "yeah but wikipedia LOL". Non-serious bush league nonsense.

          12/ A proper rebuttal would be to explain why the war is good despite us killing 30,000 civilians, or to explain that the war was good because we'd actually killed only 280 civilians based on figures found at LINK. So far people have just sniped with random crap like >>

          13/ "well, they should come out into the open so we can kill them fairly". It's all just emotional flailing because of, I presume, cognitive dissonance between (a) "we're the good guys / they're the bad guys" and (b) "ooh, those numbers are damning".

          14/ First off, I don't believe you. Maybe I'm wrong, but the kind of guy who says "LOL wikipedia" isn't the kind of guy who clicks footnotes. If you had, I'd expect "LOL, this links to a report from XYZ who's a flake". Second >>> https://twitter.com/AdamKarnes/status/1174749573631205376 …

          15/ I'm not asking you to give "special weight" (your words) to the report. I cited numbers. You said "LOL". Do you have better numbers, or are you going to just LOL at any facts that don't align with your favored policy?
