    I’ve always heard modern missile guidance systems are so accurate they could fly one up the enemy’s asshole and I wonder why not mine?

      Mines are mostly banned. Unless you’re in the US. We didn’t sign those treaties for some reason…

      No no no missiles are dumb and sometimes they accidentally hit schools and hospitals and really all you can just do is shrug 🤷‍♂️ and say “oopsie doopsie”, because war is hell.

      /s if not blatantly obvious.

        I rather believe that missle went exactly where it was programmed to go to. Either that was sloppy and incompetent target selection without enough diligence or someone just vibe bombed Iran with coordinates a LLM regurgitated. I’m quite positive the Tomahawk itself worked fine with precision.

          The school building used to be part of a Revolutionary Guard complex — 13 years ago. US didn’t manage to update their intelligence in all that time.
