I'm completely confident that our drones have, in fact, killed girls whose parents allowed and even encouraged them to read.

The very point of the cartoon is the indiscriminate killing that occurs. (Incidentally, criticizing one aspect of a military operation does not constitute an assertion that the operation is "primarily" about that. To label something "collateral damage" doesn't justify sweeping it under the rug.)
