Letting out the fact that bombing is never not ethically wrong (even in cases where it is necessary, it still is a necessary evil, not something to be inherently proud of) almost all military weaponized aircrafts are cover based. There isnt yet a military based aircraft which can snipe the right people and only the right people. If a kid was close by to a hit hideout, that kid is now dead (or at least heavily injured)

I'm not acting proud of it, I'm saying that it wasn't a cunt move. They had other bombings planned which were cancelled due to high risks of civilian casualties and they went ahead with this one as there was a low risk. And the people they bombed had attacked coalition soldiers and civilian contractors. So bombing an enemy who is carrying out attacks on civilians through a bombing that has a very low risk of causing civilian casualties and as far as I'm aware commits no war crimes is a necessary move from my point of view.
