Now that Trump is running the show are troops will be the bad guys again. My son is Socom SF and he says that’s what they all expect. Expect to see articles blasting the Seals. Especially Devgru.
If someone is shooting a WMD at our shores, I’d take out one target and get a two fer.
It’s called collateral damage.
No, we may not intentionally target someone, but if they are down range and we are shooting.........
Our enemies tend to live all together in large compounds. Obama wouldn’t attack. This is the first op since 2014 that had a possibility of collateral casualties.
The others are not “human shields” they just live close together by custom and culture.
There are many Yemen-Americans living in Yemen. Many of them migrated to the US and had careers in the automotive industry in Michigan before returning to Yemen to start a lucrative business there with the money they had saved in the US.
Who is a terrorist.
He was targeted not her.
Human shields / hostages should be considered already dead. If they can rescue them fine but change no military operation for them.
If you do then you have just given them permission to take more hostages.
Wedding Party?
An anchor baby?
Anwar al Awlaki, her father, took her there, of course, before he bought the farm.
Reminds me of all the caterwauling over Qadaffi’s imaginary daughter allegedly getting killed in an airstrike carried out on Reagan’s orders.
The terrorists we were looking for were hiding amongs their womenfolk, as they always have done, at least as far back as Op Restore Hope in Somalia if not much earlier.
