The "human shields" argument to justify bombings of hospitals and residential neighborhoods is going to come back and haunt us, as it always does.

R: So now you’d give the Devil benefit of law? M:Yes. What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil? R: I’d cut down every law in England to do that! M: Oh? And, when the last law was down, and the Devil turned round on you – where would you hide the laws all being flat?

Even if you were to take the bogus "human shields" argument in good faith, who is better? Those who would use human shields or those that would shoot at them anyways?

I understand your point but I think decent people find it haunting already
