Is the US Military Following Trump's Commands and Targeting Civilians?

There have been several bombing raids, including one which hit people fleeing from Raqqa:
Dozens of civilians killed in US-led airstrike on Isis stronghold in Syria

Pentagon denies striking mosque in Syria, says it killed al Qaeda militants

Air strike kills more than 30 near Raqqa, Syrian Observatory says

Now Trump has called for killing civilians several times:

Didn't listen to the videos but he meant if ISIS had their families with them to use as shields. And as far as ordering the military to kill civilians, military commanders would not obey those orders. Both cases are legal and proper.

I assume when the military, under obamas rule, killed thousands of civilians across the globe and when he broke treaty and killed around 60 Syrian soldiers, it was because he specifically told them to?

Is the military listening to Trump?

This interesting. Al Qaeda and ISIS held territories have objective reporters reporting casualties.

Phone rings at Reuters:
- Hello? This is Reuters... - says a voice
- Um...yes, this is Al Qaeda (ISIS) reporter Muhammad (Sahib) - says the caller
- How can I help you? - asks Reuters
- The Americans killed 33 civilians in our stronghold. They were innocent and were not in any kind of military uniforms... - says Muhammad
- Thank you for your factual report - says Reuters. Then he is heard yelling "Hey Jack, wire this report right now and mark it 'URGENT.' "

Neither legal nor proper. Coalition in Syria is illegal, whether they hit terrorists or civilians.

And as far as ordering the military to kill civilians, military commanders would not obey those orders.

Trump is on record saying they would. I think he even said "believe me," so you know he meant it.

Here's an article that says that even though the number of strikes has decreased, the number of civilian casualties has gone up dramatically:
Trump’s War on Terror Has Quickly Become as Barbaric and Savage as He Promised

 

[Onyx]

No, unfortunately US warcrimes have been a regular occurrence since John F. Kennedy. They rarely get covered unless the civilian death toll reaches several dozen.

Trump apparently relaxed some rules that prevented civilians from being killed in Somalia:

It's called FREEDOM for a reason. Freeing them of their miserable lives.
