I'll bite. Yes, I believe that even if you as a civilian personally voted for someone who ended up being a horrible genocidal dictator, that doesn't make it ethical for the other side to target bombs at you; warfare should be directed at combatants, or at least at the industrial base rather than indiscriminately at civilians.
Ya let's only engage in war the 18 year olds sent to die, musnt engage in war against the senders.
Voting for war should have consequences.
I'm not familiar with any place where civilians vote whether their country will go to war. Who here on this thread voted for the US to go to war against Venezuela?
We should attach moral value to our enemies lives because we thereby retain our own decency.
This is a gravely immoral and frankly psychopathic stance, as well as an incoherent one.
Or is also immoral to attack disarmed combatants who pose no threat. Civilians aren’t even combatants.
