Bombing schools isn't dark enough?

Why this, of all things? It's horrible, but look at where the school was, why did they put a school there? Who puts a school next to a military base? There's way darker stuff than people missing a military base and hitting an adjacent school by accident.

> Who puts a school next to a military base?

These days they’re calling themselves the “Department of War”

The extent to which some people will twist to justify that which can not be justified is mind boggling.

What's the twist? I'm curious why this event was chosen, if for any reason. Personally I am frustrated by people building a school next to a military installation. It feels extremely negligent. I find that to be pretty unsettling and wish people wouldn't do that, because military installations are legitimate and predictable military tagets.

Did you know nearly every middle to larger sized US military base has base housing and even schools?

That’s the twist.

It turned out that the real dark stuff was the fiends we made along the way.

I mean...sure...but if you are going to be consistent you are going to have to criticize the Allied victory in WWII. There were literally piles of dead children in cities all over fascist Europe. We do not even have exact numbers because in some cases the death toll had to be estimated by weighing the ashes found in bomb shelters.

That's horrible. If they get bombed, we'll know why...

You have a good message in general but here at hacker news we try to avoid personal attacks and that sort of thing. Just letting you know why you’re being flagged; but I do agree Americans are generally clueless.
