[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the second day of a war that no one in the US government has elaborated a clear justification for, we the American taxpayer killed 150+ kids.

Incredible what damage an incompetent and value-free administration can do.[/quote]

So there is this thing that the Israelis started to do years ago. If you claim there is a high priority target in the area you can avoid war crime charges. It has been very successful for the Israelis. You blow up a hospital…well senior leadership was using the hospital as a hidden bunker. No proof is needed. You just need to claim it. There are a few independent journalists in Israel who have constructed the history of this.

Very surprised the US military owned up to this. A lot of careers died with the release of this report. [/quote]

It took a few days but they have owned up to it.  Agree, some people may see their military careers end over this mistake. If only that were to include Hegseth, we can only hope.  That said, the IRGC base in Minab was indeed and undeniably a high priority military target, serving key naval functions, serving as a missile base, and key logistics coordination point.  It supported Fast-Attack Craft operations, a key component to Iran's strategies for controlling the Strait of Hormuz, and other functions.  Independent OSINT confirmed numerous direct hits on various base facilities which shows it was in fact the main target, not the school.  It can also be seen in aerial imagery that the school was not even 150 feet from the current base footprint and that it was built in very similar style and construction to the other buildings on the base - because it not long ago was part of the base.  Far too close for safety.  In a wartime footing, the children should have been evacuated to a safer location.  Yes, the US has schools for soldiers' kids on military bases, but there are clear protocols and guidance, in the event of a war threat, evacuation of the kids to a shelter, hardened location etc is one of the installation's top priorities.  The US put that protocol into action in Iraq numerous times, in Turkey in 2016, in Japan during Fukushima etc.  The IRGC on the other hand had no evident plan or protocol for the safety of kids.
