posted it for those who haven't seen it. How anyone can watch this
and imprison the whistleblower is beyond me.

Don't have a problem. Ground troops had come under heavy attack at that location and called in for support. Active combat zones are dangerous.

in which you can present your views. I'm certain they'd be most appreciative and would honor your compassion.

How does it feel to support unprovoked mass-murder?

According to UN special rapporteur on extrajudicial killings Christof Heyns, "secondary strikes on rescuers who are helping (the injured) after an initial drone attack, those further attacks are a war crime." Clive Stafford-Smith, the lawyer who heads the Anglo-US legal charity Reprieve, believes that such strikes “are like attacking the Red Cross on the battlefield. It’s not legitimate to attack anyone who is not a combatant.”

repeatedly to get permission to "engage"?

blasting an ambulance pick-up?

Saying the children shouldn't be in a war zone , their home area?

all lacking from your comment.

The USA just decided to attack a country unprovoked, did Iraq attack the US first?? Nope, not at all, it is a war of aggression. (oil-bucks are the reason for the most part, so profit$)

Attacking unarmed reporters, is NOT providing air support to ground troops, and intentionally killing the medics and rescuers is an out and out WAR CRIME! Laughing about it don't help much either.

If you truly don't have "a problem" with it then may I suggest getting tested for sociopathic tendencies,. Self commital is an acceptable course of action, thanks.

Well actually, the numbers are low but the same posters post endlessly,. and we can assume some sock-puppets, and other gaming,. but the lame justifications are amusing at times, mildly anyhow.

I guess the fascists know that a small percent will always support them due to the bass level of sociopaths in any society. Sad but a fact of life.

Roman Empire here we come. We're are a rogue nation and the rest of the world will deal with us the same way it has dealt with rogue nations throughout history. We are doomed because of our deliberate slide into the immoral abyss.
