So, if you gallantly went off to the middle east to shoot Hamas fighters, and then discovered they had a child strapped to their chest, you would lay down your weapon and let them shoot you? They don't strap kids to their chests - that was hyperbole. How many dead children would be acceptable to you? You answer first Bobby. And it is not just hyperbole. Hamas is literally running their military operation from refugee camps and high rise buildings for the same reason. This is a very real question that Israel is faced with. OK 1,000 kids. Your turn? As many as it takes to stop Hamas using children as human shields. If 2000 Hamas soldiers strapped children to their chest and invaded Israel, shooting everyone they see, would you advise the Israelis to stand down and let them do it? No - kill em all. Kill all the kids. What about if all 25000 of them strapped a child to their chest and invaded. Would you still accept the casualties? Yes, but whatabout if the child was strapped to another child, have you considered that? We need to take such possibilities into account. Whatabout if Hamas fighters strapped on twins or even triplets? The toll here would escalate, giving us completely different totals. Bobby has only accounted for one child per fighter, giving us a total of 25,000. This figure could be way off, particularly if we consider the options at Hamas' disposal - specially armoured strollers, backpack baby capsules or bullet-resistant sling carriers, to name but a few. Technological innovation in this area is rapid and, just like parents, the modern fighter has an array of choices for secure child/infant transport. With this in mind, perhaps Bobby would like to reconsider his earlier argument, FD. Best you get a clear figure out of him before answering his question. You wouldn't want to take a stab in the dark on such an important question, no?
