          How would that (specifically targeting children with drones) benefit the US?
          • shapefrog 5y ago
            Fear and terror.

          Please provide specific examples where the US military issued orders to use a drone strike to specifically kill children.

Looks like they were pretty keen to wipe out that guys entire family; 16 year old son two weeks later and eventually nailed the 8 year old daughter. You dont often see bipartisan action like that.

              “The U.S. eventually claimed that the boy was not their target but merely “collateral damage.””

                How naive of me not to see that it was all just a big ol coincidence. 'Accidentally' killing kids is A-OK, so long as the kid is standing next to a 'legitimate' target when you drop a bomb on them.
