Analyses and video evidence emerged over the weekend showing that the air strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh Girls’ Primary School on February 28—that killed over 160 girls aged 7 to 12—was carried out by the US military.
The girls’ school in Minab is in Iran’s southern Hormozgan province close to the Persian Gulf. The school was effectively pulverized by multiple blasts, and many of those killed were obliterated and could only be identified through DNA analysis. Footage showed bodies and body parts partially trapped under collapsed floors, alongside scattered schoolbags, notebooks and dust‑covered textbooks.
Someone pressed the button to kill children, then pressed again to kill more. I am not mad at dt but at that human who pressed the button. Why cant every soldier just say no and kill the one who told him to do the war crime
Because soldiers follow orders.
How would that soldier know that the school was filled with children? He’s sitting 100 miles away, on a boat. His commanding officer gives him a set of coordinates to fire upon. The soldier follows orders, because that’s his only job.

And his CO also doesn’t know jack about the targets. He gets a list of targets, he confirms if he can achieve them and reports success or failure
Anyone thinking that military, any military, entertains debate and full disclosures once the orders are given is just fucking with reality.
The ones with morals already left the force
In this case, it sounds like the school used to be part of the neighboring base, so the US intelligence was just very outdated. So the guy with his finger on the trigger was probably told it was a military target.
The guy with his finger on the trigger wasn’t told a goddamn thing. Conversation went like this:
“Fire on these coordinates.”
“Yessir.”
