Sorry to Necro This, But thought this was interesting...... So Trump got blasted for this, at one point... and I am sure any attempt will continue. The worst part was Spec Ops was at the helm, and a good man lost a life. What was Paraded around was the dead civilians..... The question is, I had to wait till 2 previous administrations finished before really learning....
Dirty Wars (2013) - IMDb
Watched this on Netflix last night, and could not grasp, what the hell is going. The Hypocrisy that was posted in the thread shocks me.
1) Use of Drones Instead of ground forces, The Amount of people killed to include civilians is quite astonishing. I hope people understand that.
2) Drone strikes are NOT surgical and are mass casualty type weapon, Spec Ops ground forces I would assume to be much more surgical than dropping a JDAM on a wedding party. Also Confirming target on ground is likely a little more accurate.
3) Obama Didn't approve this mission, what were we doing in Yemen, we never were blah blah. Well well, we sure did a lot of off the radar drone strikes in Yemen. Did you Know, I knew this but didnt put much thought about it, till I watched the documentary, Bama, sanctioned a drone Strike on an American Citizen and his 16 year old Son? While I dont know the truth behind this...... If Specs Ops is pretty good at what they do, A snatch and grab was totally out of the questions? To sanction a Drone Strike on an American Citizen, let me say that again, AMERICAN CITIZEN.... yikes.......
So just curious on your thoughts about that......
