What’s the debate?
As sad as it is or the 19 families this is hardly even “news”.

If you read closely and carefully you will find that they killed their own people during the exercise.

Would you sooner I put it in the General Forum?

RESOLVED: Iran should improve their military training so that fewer of their sailors are blown up.

Do you want to take the "YES" or "NO" position?

I think it’s more complex than a an either/or choice. These decisions have far reaching socio economic impacts which are felt for generations and which can reverberated globally.

This is another example of you being really quite funny. I wish you would be like this more; several times in the last couple of months you made a surprisingly humorous post.

Did you mean for this post to be funny?.

I will take the contrary position.

No, they should not nor should any country. IF the military is uncertain where their missiles are going to land, it will make them less likely to launch them in the first place thus reducing the chance of war and saving countless lives (of non-Iranian non-sailors anyway).

Actually it was a quite clear case of human error (fired the missile too early)….so?
