The victims are children of Pakistani army soldiers as the target is an army school.Originally posted by VectraMan View PostI assume they did it because it was an army run school, with presumably children of soldiers and they're hoping to discourage people from fighting against them by targeting their children.Comment

Originally posted by sal View PostJust deliberately mass bombed civilian targets using incendiary ordinance, the children were only collateral damage...
Even with collateral damage caused by drone strikes etc., it's not like the Yanks say "right, let's try to kill as many children as we possibly can today - let's try and slaughter every last little kiddie we can" - that's precisely what the Taleban said when they woke up this morning.Comment

I know a very small number of guys who have come back from Afghanistan and they say that the rules of engagement are so strict that often they put the guys in danger.
Whereas the other side did not give a damn and would deliberately engage in public areas to reduce the effectiveness of our troops.Comment
