They got super lucky the Russian pilots are shit at their jobs.

Proof Russians are indiscriminately targeting civilians. That truck was not a thread to that plane, yet they were shot at.

And? I'm surprised that, within the confines of written history (this includes religious texts), people are still shocked when soldiers kill indiscriminately.

It is well that war is so terrible. Lest we should grow too fond of it.
Robert E. Lee

I've always wondered about that Lee quotation. I mean, isn't war by definition "terrible"? If nothing bad happens--no death, no destruction, no privation--would it be a war? So, if it wasn't terrible it wouldn't be war. So . . . is he saying that if it were only mildly bad, you know, just people getting slightly wounded in a leisurely fashion, then it would be okay? I mean, does his comment really make any sense at all?
