Right now there are probably about 400,000 people turning 18 each year. I doubt enough positions can be found for all of them, and some would be "excused duty" for reasons not necessarily related to severe disability. So some people would get a pass, and some would be f*cked. It wouldn't...
Which has nothing to do with my point, which is that it can all be avoided by not mixing unprotected and protected things. And that can only be done by whoever controls the assets.

Other countries are misguided. For those that believe in the abstract of the "IRBO", Hamas cannot be allowed to succeed. The short lesson drawn by observers will be "Well, it worked."
Political support for Hamas or against Israel will tend to buttress Hamas's will to continue the fight rather...
Without qualification and in absolute terms, then, "Collateral damage and casualties resulting from the siting of legitimate military targets is the fault of the people siting legitimate military targets there." stands, because without the legitimate military target there would be no attack and...
Nothing wrong with my logic. I didn't make any claims about the military advantage of a target; I didn't claim that any target may be attacked any time irrespective of collateral damage and casualties. The point is that siting military targets near protected people and infrastructure invites...
"Netanyahu says the air strike in Rafah on Sunday was "a tragic mistake" and adds that it will be investigated"
Huh. Would be a pretty neat trick to know the outcome ("tragic mistake") before the investigation is started.
Marooning people in a brief compulsory military service or community service would be a grave economic strategic error for a country reportedly suffering declining productivity and shortages of employees in all sorts of occupations. It's pretty much guaranteed to move a huge slice of people's...
Sure, but start with the oldest people - say, 75 - and work down through the cohorts (community service; military service would be too difficult for many).
Collateral damage and casualties resulting from the siting of legitimate military targets is the fault of the people siting legitimate military targets there. If it's common knowledge that a war aim is approximately the extinction of the political and military leadership of Hamas, for f*ck's...
Countries aren't supposed to gain territory by war, even by taking it away from an attacker. That's the well-intentioned ideal, anyways. Perceived exigencies of survival will always override ideals.
Those who wish to pound the drums about occupation and colonization may continue doing so. Of...
As noted above, white men, since they were the ruling class. Interesting, though, how there are so few societies that built a values system that contained the values needed to overcome deficiencies, and moreover were able to execute on those values.
Except the ones born there.
Also because it's the one place in the world they can be pretty sure does not have anti-semitism embedded in its institutions.
They shouldn't have to leave, but in practical terms they have the choice of accepting the sh!tty situation and getting along (means: no...
