When is it okay to slaughter children?

Over the years, we have witnessed unspeakable acts carried out by various groups. In retaliation, we and/or them launch air strikes, invade ruthlessly, etc. to “get them back”. 

Does it ever dawn on any of you that there could be an innocent child in the structure that you’re about to blow to smithereens? 

The old “Eye for an Eye” adage does not, and should not, apply to children. It’s 2023… why do we still pursue our enemies in such a barbaric way?
