Why this dilemma matters
There is no clean answer here — the dilemma forces a trade between two legitimate moral claims. Choosing “Autorizzare l'attacco, privilegiando la sopravvivenza dei propri uomini e l'efficacia militare” prioritises a more principled outcome; choosing “Annullare l'operazione, rispettando il principio di protezione dei civili anche a costo di maggiori perdite tra le tue truppe” gives more weight to a more pragmatic outcome.
Worth asking yourself
- Is the principle worth the concrete cost?
- What cost are you more willing to accept?
