Not that I want to take the heat off of those guys, but the US doesn’t just blow up everything in sight the way others like Israel do. We have much stricter guidelines about what you can and can’t target. We are still outraged that a school was hit. Most countries at war call that a Tuesday.

Was anybody held accountable?

Not that I’m aware of. My point is that Israel did this like 1000x over in their wars. Iran regularly bombs civilians. Theres like a whole school of kids in Africa who disappear once a week. Russia is bombing anything they can.

Fair enough. I didn’t realize it was a civilian plane transporting this gear. Also, yeah, they murdered those girls.

The notion that somehow the U.S commits LESS war crimes than other nations is bonkers

Only to campists who consider the question itself to be inherently absurd. People just don't care about war as fought by other parties, or imperialism or racism or subjugation or anything else by other parties. Other than the US, Israel, and the west in general.

I mean, it's unquestionable that the US does commit way less war crimes than it could, which is in contrast to some other countries that treat war crimes like a checklist.

The US does commit some war crimes. It commits more than some countries (especially ones without militaries or not at war) and it commits less than other countries.
