I think that after reading the article, it just confirms my views on war and terrorism. It has been going on for way too long and it really needs to come to an end. Innocent people are dying as well as getting killed. Families of these people are all grieving that they just lost a family member. Overall, it's terrible that this is still going on in the world today and there's nothing we can do about it.

It's amazing how statistics can show you how bad things are, but it's individual stories that really make you feel them. Like, reading about how 4,000 civilians have been killed in the crossfire? that's sad. But somehow reading about just one man, who ran an taxi service or a guy with an ice cream truck and leaving behind eight kids? Devastating.

I don't understand why we now try to fight wars without civilian casualities.  War is inherently ugly.  It's inherently dirty.  You can't fight it "nice."  You don't do that unless you don't want to win.  You fight ugly and you fight hard.  We didn't win World War 2 by playing nice.  We nuked Japan twice.  We leveled Germany.  Civilians are targets, too.  These Yemeni allowed a rebel group backed by iran to take over and are now causing threats to Saudi Arabia.  The Saudis shouldn't have to protect Yemeni citizens at the expense of their own citizens.  They should fight as hard and destructively as they want.  Fight to win the war, not to not ruffle feathers.  Idiocy.

I don't feel much sympathy at all in this situation.  War is war.  What some professor at Columbia says about how war should be fought is idiotic.  What value are words in war?  Pieces of paper?  War should be fought to win.  In World War II we leveled German cities and nuked Japan twice.  We didn't concern ourselves with preventing civilian casualties.  That would have seriously hindered us from winning the war, which should be the only point of going to war.  In the same way, the Saudis and this coalition should not concern themselves with protecting somewhat complicit Yemenis when it hinders their effort to win the conflict.  That should be the goal.  The idea of fighting wars with tweezers to prevent collateral damage is absurd, even if it means people like this father of eight die.

This is such a disturbing article to read through. You just cant help but feel for the families of the victims so brutually killed. How could this coalition have such a lack of care for human life. The fact that they hit near a humanitarian run hospital is despicable. I am in aw that the us would in any way help when there is faulty information and so much civilian life loss. I feel for all these people that are now injured and have to go hours away for medical help because they had to shut this hospital down.
