Puts the 5,000 plus total civilians killed in ongoing war in Yemen into perspective in my opinion.
Is that a war crime killing so many civilians such a short space or was it our bombers not aiming right? Because the number you're quoting Captain tells me we were aiming for civilians not a proper target of war, unless our target was to abolish as many civilians as we could. I would be not proud of one solider who done such acts.
