Did AI target the Girls School in Iran?

[CrusaderFrank]

Apparently USA Tomahawks were responsible for double tapping the Girls School in Iran

Accordingly, it’s fair and reasonable to ask: who gave the order, human or AI?

This is a very important factor

If it was human, it’s a war crime and he should be charged; if it was AI, it needs to be unplugged

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Any thoughts?

Reportedly the building had been used by the IRGC for decades.
The building is adjacent to several others that are currently used by IRGC.
Iran being a rather closed society, US Intel had not been advised that use of the building changed in the last couple of years.
Hence it appears it was thought to be part of the rest of the IRGC installations that surrounded it.

Got any proof as actually a girl's school? Or that any girls were actually killed?

Rawley is doing a much better job defending the slaughter of these children in his post than you are in yours. He's questioning all of reality in general instead of pretending a school of girls can be mistaken for a military target with all of our current technology.

There are limits to our current technology.
You have yet to display any real competence, skill, or knowledge in this subject area.
How about you defend Iran and it's proxies Hamas and Hezbollah killing of Israeli civilians and school children the past 45+ years.

I don't want to defend Iran. I want the U.S. to worry about its own problems. If you don't like civilians and children being killed you should be mad at Iran and Israel.

Any thoughts?

Two:

1) we will never know to what extent, if any, AI was used to target that, or any other, Tomahawk missle.

2) I've seen no evidence that a girls school was hit and female students killed that did not come from the Iranian regime, or from anonymous "sources."

so what's your proof of this "slaughter?"

Indeed. Is there any hope in hell they'll tell us?

What proof do we really have that anything has ever happened at all?

It doesn't matter much to me. Don't get me wrong, it's a tragedy if a bunch of kids get killed for a pointless war, but ...

War is war. If we're going to fight one, the goal should be to demoralize and/or destroy the enemy. That means that everyone who supports the state we're at war with, and their kids, is a valid target. It isn't pretty. But war is that way. That's why it should be our last resort, rather than a political tool of expedience.

You can get back to your American hating reality now. Sorry for disturbing it.

You were a temporary amusement. Good boy

No. Civilians should not be targets.

I doubt they were "targets". They were just in the way. But we can't, sanely, go to war with "just the military" of an enemy. We're at war with the entire country, or we're not. Trying to split that hair causes all kinds of unintended consequences. Makes for more suffering, not less.

Have you not been following events in Iran? Virtually the entire country was rising up against the religious zealots controlling the government and the military. Their own government started slaughtering them, by the tens of thousands. We are not at war with these people, we at war with the controlling regime.

Even more so if the enemy makes a habit of hiding behind civilian facilities.

This is not like WWII, where we deliberately bombed cities night after night, killing families. Probably hit a school or two also, I'm sure.

Unfortunately, that's a naive conceit of war. The people we are at war with are the country of Iran. The entire country. We can't go to war with "just the controlling regime" any more than we go to war with "just their guns". We can, and should within reason, avoid indiscriminate carnage. But at the end of the day war IS indiscriminate carnage.

Interesting. When do we start bombing the citizens of Venezuela?
