Мысли о войне

[reytsman]

Война это не рыцарский поединок, там не место благородству (хотя милость к павшим возможна).

Ну и опять стандартное - "милостивый к врагам жесток к друзьям".

За дело мира
Вставай, Шапиро!

Yonatan Shapiro, a former Blackhawk helicopter pilot dismissed from reserve duty after signing a 'refusenik' letter in 2004, said he had spoken with Israeli F-16 pilots in recent days and learnt that some had aborted missions because of concerns about the reliability of intelligence information. According to Shapiro, some pilots justified aborting missions out of 'common sense' and in the context of the Israeli Defence Force's moral code of conduct, which says every effort should be made to avoiding harming civilians.
Shapiro said: 'Some pilots told me they have shot at the side of targets because they're afraid people will be there, and they don't trust any more those who give them the coordinates and targets.'
He added: 'One pilot told me he was asked to hit a house on a hill, which was supposed to be a place from where Hizbollah was launching Katyusha missiles. But he was afraid civilians were in the house, so he shot next to the house ...
'Pilots are always being told they will be judged on results, but if the results are hundreds of dead civilians while Hizbollah is still able to fire all these rockets, then something is very wrong.'
So far none of the pilots has publicly refused to fly missions but some are wobbling, according to Shapiro. He said: 'Their target could be a house firing a cannon at Israel and it could be a house full of children, so it's a real dilemma; it's not black and white. But ... I'm calling on them to refuse, in order save our country from self-destruction.'

Там и критерии другие, как писал один из Израильских пилотов за привильное выполнение миссии могут и не поздравить, за то за ошибку вздрючат так что мало не покажется.
И всё это опять возвращается, к тому что отследить _руководство_ и сбросить одну большую гораздо проще чем отслеживать сотни точек с пусковыми установками.
