    Are the adults war criminals?

    The adults whom we were assured by the tPF cheerleaders would do a spiffing job once back in charge have now admitted to killing a civilian aid worker in a car full of children with a drone in Afghanistan. So, war crime or not?

    No. It was a horrible error. We didn't have the information right.

    Not criminal, but it does tell us the problem with reliance on remote War Toys and limited intelligence when we pull our people out in a mad rush for Presidential Headlines........

    This incident was a horrible mistake, but US and allied forces killed over 70,000 Afghan civilians since the war began. Let's not pretend that this was an isolated incident.
