U.S. drone strike kills 30 pine nut farm workers in Afghanistan

[QUOTE=Patrick Chewing]Mistakes happen. Sometimes bad intel is given. This isn't the first time something like this has happened, and it won't be the last.

Life goes on.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=iamgine]Unfortunately, as Pat said, these things happen. It's the accepted consequences of fighting terrorists, sometimes innocent people gets killed. But we accept that as the necessary cost.[/QUOTE]

no. but when you "uncuff" the military, civilian casualty goes up. Dont you remember retard trump saying this and you morons cheering him? theres a reason why obama was diligent with airstrikes, hes also diligent with other aspects of society implementing proper regulation, the same regulations trump dismantled with gross negligence and its going to have negative consequences. so go ahead and take the L, trumptards are responsible for these excessive and unnecessary civilian casualties, and dont mark it up to "oh its just the consequences of war, mistakes happen", no, these arent just mistakes, they are a direct result in the high number of airstrikes allowed by trumps "unchained" military. its directly your faults for voting and supporting a moron.

The United Nations mission in Afghanistan reported recently that U.S. airstrikes and Afghan security forces killed more civilians in the first half of 2019 than the Taliban did.

The mission says “pro-government forces” killed 717 civilians while “anti-government forces” killed 531, and 118 deaths could not be attributed.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]The Trump administration has also escalated the U.S. war against Shabab militants in Somalia, launching 123 airstrikes since early 2017. That’s four times as many as the Obama administration conducted over eight years.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]Instead, most of the increase in civilian casualties has stemmed from a sharp increase in U.S. and allied airstrikes. The Pentagon says its forces in Afghanistan conducted 1,302 airstrikes in the first seven months of this year; that’s more than any full year since 2013.[/QUOTE]

trumptards have the blood of innocent people on their hands. "oh its whatever, life goes on"

[QUOTE=superduper]You always say stuff like this until it'll eventually happen to you one day.[/QUOTE]


Say stuff like what? That mistakes like this happen in times of war? It happens all the time. Ever heard of Friendly Fire? We've killed our own.

In terms of my statement that life goes on, well.....does it not? These are things beyond our control and how we react to them determines how we live our lives from that point on.

What should our reaction be in this instance? Should we burn cities down? Should we strap a bomb to our chest and walk into a mall as payback? It will be a never-ending cycle of violence and despair. More souls for God to sort out.

youre absolutely dumb. You voted for trump, he promised to unchain the military and to fight terrorism aggressively. whats the byproduct of doing so? innocent people die at a higher rate.

You're outmatched here, Little Nate. And you know why? Because you're emotional.

Trump promised us that he wasn't going to get us into any more senseless wars, and so far he has kept to that.

He also promised he'd put an end to ISIS, a group that Obama just absolutely struggled with, and guess what, he's practically put ISIS out of commission for the time being.

'Member that big ass bomb he dropped in Syria? Well, that has shut Bashar up for the time being.

So what's your problem with Trump again?? Oh, that's right, he's racist.

Just the USA killing more civilians and non combatants in the name of freedom and "intent" to kill Islamic State forces. Mind you, there are ONLY 2,000 of those ****ers in Afghanistan...how can you assume a group of people sitting around a lit bonfire are with IS and not just regular people trying to make a dollar?? This will inevitably get completely swept under the rug yet again and no one will bat an eye. It's ONLY TERRORISM when it happens to a non-Muslim country. But you can kill all the civilians you want in places like Afghanistan and get away with it.


Disgusting.[/QUOTE]
maybe these combatants should wear uniforms and not civilian clothing....... that might help keep civilian losses down

and stop hiding among women and children as well

The most important question about this whole affair still hasn't been answered. How do you fit 200 people into 5 tents?

Have you never heard of an industrial tent? :oldlol:


Not the type you go out camping with. Google it, doc.
