These were rogue elements so please stop saying it was a war zone, what do you expect, etc.
The officers have been fired and commanders disciplined.
Murder charges could well follow...

They don’t owe the world anything.
You traipsed into a war zone wrapped in your cloak of virtue signaling, probably not even realizing that Hamas confiscates all the aid at the borders so the civilians don’t get it and got shot at.
It’s sad but then so is Hamas raping and killing children. Where’s the calls for those to be brought to justice?

When you put yourself in the middle of a war zone, don’t expect not to be killed or injured. I’m sure you signed legal paperwork attesting to the same.

Why are you excusing these rogue elements/potential murderers?
You can’t just do anything because you’re in the military and have a gun.
There are rules..
Are you not taught this
?

Jacob Flickinger was a "loyal and devoted" aid worker and family man who was "chased down" and killed by Israel while trying to help those in need, his parents have told the BBC. Pal around with Hammie scum, and see what happens.

Rules are rules

Yes, even in a war
The officers have been fired and their commanders severely disciplined

Rachel Corrie did a similarly stupid thing by standing in front of a moving Bulldozer. What do pro-Islamic protesters and aid workers get on judgement day? 72 Virginia Slims?

Why did Rand Paul turn-tail on January 6th, after he pledged to reject Biden's fraudulent electors, but instead chickened-out, and voted to accept them.
I don't give a crap what happens to civilians who deliberately put themselves in harm's way for stupid reasons, especially when everyone knows Hamas will steal every piece of food and box of aide they bring in. Sucks to be them. They chose poorly.

Facts - They were in a war zone.
- Mistakes happen in war zones.
- Some IDF troops make tragic errors.
- One of those errors was mistakenly killing the three hostages who escaped and were trying to make their way through enemy lines to safety with the IDF.

No tears from here. He should have stayed home with his family, instead of putting himself in the middle of a war. They say this kitchen group was non-profit. My ass they are. No group is non-profit. They have to pay salaries of the big wigs to make stupid decisions to send people off to die.

You are making a seismic assumption...so you have video evidence to support this claim? Ever since its inception HAMAS jihadi fighters hide behind women, children, and aid workers. Additionally, HAMAS often kills innocents in false flag ops to make Israel

This an active hot war with many casualties. The war was stated by Hamas, a known brutal terrorist organization. If they had not attacked on October 7th this war would not be going on. If anyone wants to lay blame, blame Hamas.
And Israel needs to finish the job quickly. It is taking too long for an area the size of Gaza.

"Rules are rules."
I'm more concerned with rules in this country being ignored, deliberately violated, and changed to suit the need of criminals, and RATS, to the horrible detriment of American citizens. Look around you.

Facts don’t matter the pro terror media now have their incident to rally around to “prove” their lying narrative…
To: af_vet_1981
Even in a World War there were rules......
And since 1945 more rules particularly internationally
You’re taught all this and know it backwards so I’m surprised at some of the responses from vets here
It’s disheartening!

Helping Hamas steal even more food and aid packages from the civilians who know them, know what they do, and cover for them.
