I have read the complaints about those killed as we left Afghanistan with my position being we never should have been in that position to start with but it seems it
was hardly the only time we have done something so destructive to people who never did a thing to us.
In the last days of the battle against the Islamic State group in Syria, when members of the once-fierce caliphate were cornered in a dirt field next to a town called Baghuz, a U.S. military drone circled high overhead, hunting for military targets. But it saw only a large crowd of women and children huddled against a river bank.
Without warning, a U.S. F-15E attack jet streaked across the drone’s high-definition field of vision and dropped a 500-pound bomb on the crowd. Then a jet dropped one 2,000-pound bomb, then another.
It was March 18, 2019. At the U.S. military’s busy Combined Air Operations Center at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, uniformed personnel watching the live drone footage looked on in stunned disbelief.
How the U.S. Hid an Airstrike That Killed Dozens of Civilians in Syria
We are as evil as any country in existence.
