Nobody that understands how this works could have said that. Once you are already at war, it's either sending more thousands of American soldiers with guns firing at anything that moves, and then civilians die anyway, or use the drones to shoot at targets with precision, and then civilians die anyway. The only people that think civilian deaths during war are 100% avoidable are people that have no idea what they are talking about and like to wax lyrical from behind a keyboard.
There was one other place where it could have been stopped, and that's earlier by preventing war mongers from gaining power and starting the wars in the first place. I'm sure you did your part then using your vote effectively to prevent Republicans from gaining power for 8 years, just as you are ready to vote effectively now to prevent a Republican from returning this Nov.
Are you so blind that you only see the world thru a filter provided by a political party?
The USA has been doing horribly illegal things for a long time.
Pretending murder is cool because the other guys did it too is horrible logic at best.
People conducting their lives and basing their morality on what the other person did is a downward spiral trap for society.
As for what i did, smoke some DMT and ask the elves. My soul is clean. Everyone ignored my warnings, i was kidnapped and tortured for months to retaliate.
It’s impossible to avoid civilian deaths, and yet I have killed exactly zero civilians in my life. Curious.
