    This is why it's so bad. We start accepting it. This also helps breed our enemies against us.


    EDIT: I don't believe N-7 is bashing NATO or the US. He's merely saying he disagrees what happens and doesn't like it.

    So N-7, i assume you never found what you accused me of, or by now you would have refuted me. There you go again, stating " facts" when in reality, you are wrong.

    If the terrorists didnt purposely hide amongst civilians, this type of thing wouldnt happen.

    Your opinion might change if it was you being shot at by a bunch of 12 year olds. Hard to believe I know, but it is true and it happens more than you would think.

    It's fucked up honestly, i thought the entire principle of unmanned drones was to reduce casualties on both sides?
    while i'm not to involved in this story, is there a possibility these "militants" use these civilians in their buildings they operate from thinking "ohh the US won't bomb our major bases now because we have civilians in them also"

    edit, it's already been said. might read the pages seems accusations flying from person to person, idk...
    Still I cry, tears like pouring rain, Innocent is my lurid pain.

    Yes it is common place, but where in that statement did i say this is what happened in this instance? Oh i didn't. Nice try though.

    Edit: And my "I was unaware that you were there, and had first hand knowledge. My bad sir, continue spewing facts of the situation."
    Was in reply to you just telling how everyone else is dead wrong. Nothing to even do with my first statement.

    What justice though? This stuff happens all the time in war. Compared to the millions of civilians who died in WW2, this is a cakewalk and we ain't even aiming for civilians.
    This guy here gets it.

    If the US never trained and equipped AQ this would never happen. I can make blanket statements too you see.
    But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
    Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

    "ops, we didn't know" doesn't go very far.
    So armed soldiers in a war zone are not allowed to fire back while being attacked? Show me were it says they can't return fire.

    Most modern military forces use them, the French actually have the best drones in the world.
    No I'm aware that drone tech is pretty common now, but how many of those countries are flying drone strikes in Afghanistan right now besides the US? I could have been clearer in my post I guess.

    I'm going to go ahead and say that the high civvy death rate has to do with the targets hiding among civilians - maybe?

    And you shouldn't stomach nor accept it... but do realize this is the consequence of war. If you believe that, then you should simply never accept the concept of war - because innocents die in war - very VERY often. And the media VERY OFTEN likes to showcase that just to make you angry and to convince the rest of the world we're somehow specifically targeting innocent children in some playground as opposed to terrorists keeping kids around them 24/7 as shields, or training them, ect.

    If you want a better solution, figure out a way to develop weapons that do NOT hurt children under 18, but hurt adults... unless we ban ALL bomb usage and go 100% infantry storming places, we cannot prevent innocent lives from possibly getting hurt. And even WITH 100% infantry there's still a high chance of kids getting killed if they're present.

    Because until we abolish war, we cannot prevent 100% of innocent lives from being lost. It sucks, I know... but that's the sad truth. =(

    Yet you felt the need to comment on a "not going anywhere" thread to make the "observation" that all govt's are corrupt and all people are idiots?

    ...the media is the one that's making the big stink about every single child being killed in the first place in order to get hits on their sites. The media is the one that deliberately PLAYS UP the death of children.
