The Romans were attacking him, they were whipping him and torturing him. He still forgave them. And he said this:
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God.

Christians are supposed to act like Christ, and to follow what he said. Many Christians martyred themselves. And besides, that was a direct message, supporting peace makers.

Also:
But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.

Except if they accepted the surrender, there wouldn't be any killing. Like Jesus would have wanted, with evidence from here:

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God.


And Jesus and the martyrs did allow others to kill them.

There wouldn't be killing if America accepted a non-unconditional surrender. Japan's military was in too poor of a state to do serious damage, especially after demobilization.

You're a fool if you think France bombed civilians on purpose.

What a tragic accident.

Still I hope the coalition increases airstrikes on ISIS scum.

No I'm not, I'm realistic. Only idiots think that certain militaries are exempt from barbarity and cruelty.

Why? So some ISIS members can be killed, only to strengthen ISIS propaganda against the west and ultimately radicalise more people in Western society and recruit them to ISIS, resulting in a net benefit for ISIS?

No thanks.

The French military is a modern military with an aim to avoid civilian casualties. They are fighting terror and know the consequences of bombing civilians. They would never purposefully bomb them.

Airstrikes must continue so that ground forces have effective air support to help them win against ISIS. Coalition air support is vital to allied ground forces like the Peshmerga and SDF. It provides valuable intel and successful airstrikes can clear the way for a ground offensive. This has helped in the recent fall of ISIS.

Despite this I think that the French and Americans may need to be more careful. They should follow the lead of the British RAF who have not caused civilian casualties for many years.

What year it is does not matter. Militaries throughout history have always done this, it makes no sense for them to change their relationship to citizens of a hostile land just because of the year. If this was true, there wouldn't be dozens of cases of rape among French soldiers towards young women and men in the Central African Republic.

The French military has an aim to avoid civilian casualties. Not because it's a modern military but because civilian casualties harms their goals. Do you understand the situation in Syria?

They don't have that aim. They've shown in the past like the US that they find high civilian casualties acceptable.

Too bad you can't find evidence that the French military thinks opposing their own interests and killing civilians is 'acceptable', just like you can't find evidence that Hillary Clinton is an alien lizard.

Where's your evidence they're actually trying to stop civilian casualties? You're the one making the wild claim that militaries like the French and American ones care about civilian casualties, when they regularly massacre dozens of civilians.
