Oh no, here I go, re-re-investigating myself because the libs won’t shut up about all the killing! Well guess what?

I haven’t investigated at all, and yet I feel confident that the answer is still yes.

Yes, I’m aware of what I said. Are you aware of, like, the entire history of the U.S. military in, say, the last 25 years?

Im aware that this battle was the one that led to the death of ISIS founder Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, a rather unsympathetic fellow.

As for the last 25 years: American leaders (with the support of a majority of the American people) started wars that they regret starting. Any time a war is fought, civilians will suffer and die, but the American military fought those wars while inflicting remarkably few civilian casualties given the scale of the conflict.

Well, not exactly.

The story is about a vehicle with three men in it that was fired on by a helicopter, killing two of them and seriously wounding the third. The Pentagon had said that the vehicle was attacked after ignoring warning shots, but NPR has evidence that there was not enough time between the warning and the attack for the vehicle to turn around, and that the men in the vehicle were farmers.

NPR is not claiming that there was deliberate wrongdoing. This sounds to me like the sort of accident that can happen during the confusion of battle.
