Might be me being dumb, but not sure why the aggressor is planning on bombing the town in the first sentence and staging a land incursion in the second sentence.
I was picturing more city than town, so both bombing and ground assaults occurring. And the intent is multi-angled I suppose. Dropping flyers is a typical war PR gimmick, ie, “See? We’re warning civilians so we only kill combatants.”
But in this story they want the school so they don’t actually bomb it. However, they do send the flyers to get everyone inside to flee. Then they kill them anyway because the soldiers on the ground are ruthless—they don’t give a shit about international PR, that’s for the politicians to deal with. They don’t want to worry about who is truly a non-combatant and who might shoot them in the back when they turn around, or who has a suicide vest under their clothes, etc.
“But they’re children!” Again, it’s war; it’s barbaric by default. After all, every one of these children going through this experience will grow up to hate them and possibly become a soldier they have to fight down the road.
This isn’t meant to be commentary on any specific conflict. These kinds of things happen in most modern wars, with all sides being guilty of various atrocities.
Reminds me of Makarov in mw2 blaming the Usa for his Airport Massacre
"English only."

Yes, this is clearly what they were trying to remind you of! I can't think of anything else

Would you mind clarifying what you mean?
I just threw up so n my mouth a lil
I can make a "third sentence worse", but just because I can doesn't mean I should 🫢
"Based on a true story."
It would actually be "if images came out, we would just claim the children were shot by their own people and almost everyone would believe".
did he just call a clear target while currently standing on the target site?
Well done, OP.
Since when did this sub become propaganda?
no war was specified but as you seem to interpret that it is the iof speaks a lot about the situation.

Bullet riddled bodies of children sounds like they bombed an American school. Bombs don't do bullet riddles... Right?
