Anyone else in the 'who cares about the girl, just blow them all up' camp?
I believe I am not the only one?
shareNo if you wanna end this you have to do the same as in 1945 where they nuked japan.
Not just bomb 1camp. Nuke the capital.

Yeah but this particular movie was about a moral dilemma, it would have been over in ten minutes otherwise.
shareNever seen the movie but same here. If the terrorists get away and kill more people that would be worse.
Also, our government has the responsibility to put American lives first. I would rather see 100 dead civilians in a foreign country than a single dead American soldier or civilian.
Wow, someone's got their nationalism cranked up to 11.
As a non-American, I am rather glad that you don't make military decisions. If I were to know you personally, I would now no longer value your life specifically, because you just stated that you do not value mine.
Newsflash: most people like to stay alive and become hostile when they notice you wouldn't mind killing them. Of course, lives cannot usually be assessed at equal value, but putting 100 people to 1 only from nationality is extremism that should not be tolerated.
Gladly, the USA are not an extremist nation and visibly more cautious than other warring nations when it comes to civilian lives. I value that; if I were by some miracle to learn the location of an IS cell outside useful jurisdictions, I'd make a call to Washington with a clean conscience. I wouldn't be quite as comfortable with Russia, who might bomb the whole area to oblivion.
ironically that's the dilemma in the movie - kill one american or let 100 foreign civilians die. you say to save the american by killing the terrorist. i suppose you didn't consider the american would be the terrorist.
shareThat was not the dilemma at all! The pilot didn't want to kill the innocent little African girl. I'm putting African because I don't recall if she was Kenyan, Somali or some other nationality.

Brainwashed much?
That exact attitude is what gave rise to terrorism. Wake up!
Ignorance is bliss... 'til it posts on the Internet, then, it's annoying.
I'm with you! Everyone in that village knew who and what that house was...and yet they didn't steer clear of it. Terrorists are known to use human sheilds and yet they kill indiscriminately...wipe them out!
Semper Fi!
The validity of my answers is highly dependent on the intelligence of the question..or lack thereof.
Congratulations on proving that you're no different than the terrorists. You are poisoned with the same fear and hatred and just as guilty of perpetuating it. You truly are a sick individual.
shareYour wussy attitude is how they grow stronger...your compassion for them allows them to kill innocents! You must be so proud of your self righteousness!

She's not exactly 'innocent' since she sold her bread, picked it up from the dirt then sold it again...that drone pilot should be courtmartialled
shareUnfortunately, you're not. But, it's people like you who are the problem in this world. It's never acceptable to murder innocent people!

No, you're not the only one. Count me in as well. If anything this movie highlights what happens when structured ROE come into direct conflict with terrorism. As much as I hate to admit it, it justifies the black ops/no standard ROE (aside from achieving the objective) that the CIA uses and which is otherwise so morally tainted.
