I think I figured out the problem with this. The word "Army" appears in that report, that word doesn't have the same meaning as the word "Navy." Fix that one problem and I think the other issues they have would go away.

It appears that US Army is the correct terminology.

Talk about escalation

When did this happen? Iran directly attempting to assassinate Bibi is essentially a declaration of war. Good luck with all that.

Nor should rescuing hostages be high on their priority list, wonderful if they can be rescued, but unless wonderful can be realized they should be considered among the already dead.

Even if Israelis do accidently kill a hostage in the heat of battle, say during a rescue attempt, that's case of it being on the back of Hamas for their death. No matter who actually shot the gun that killed them, it was Hamas who killed them, they took them hostage in the first place.

That Hamas took hostages in the first place seems to be overlooked in your post. I regard people who take hostages as being bad terrorists.

And now I will point out that their habit of shielding behind their own people is another sign that Hamas are bad terrorists. In effect they are taking their own people as hostages.

Bad people take hostages.

Yes, bad people take hostages. I do not support any of the choices made by Hamas.

Bad people make choices that kill 40,000 innocent civilians, and bad people support those decisions.

A single dead Palestinian is worth EXACTLY the same as a dead Israeli.

One would hope that everyone on this thread can agree on this.

No doubt. Of course, practically speaking, trying to balance the scales is a fool's errand and will result in perpetual attempts to balance those scales.
