"tragic mistake." Is that what we call war crimes now?

[@namesurname9105]

Missing a target due to faulty intelligence or mechanical errors (factors that are beyond the military's control) is not a war crime, purposely killing non-combatants is. The US military doesn't get anything out of killing innocent civilians so they're certainly not doing it on purpose, however we can all agree that these easily preventable "mistakes" occur way too often and are likely caused by operator fatigue and faulty intelligence.

[@jessez8503]

@@namesurname9105 Would we accept "faulty intelligence" and "mechanical failures" as valid excuses if Russia or China did this? I doubt we would. We would be releasing statements condemning them and there would be some sanctions on the people involved. Who has been held accountable this time? This isn't the first time this has happened,at what point does something that keeps happening stop being an accident? Does the military have a culture that doesn't value non American lives? This an institution that let a man who took pictures with the dead body of a man he had tortured to death walk without facing any real consequences and i still don't know what happened to that gunman who shot a journalist from a helicopter and it's over a decade since it happened. The military might not have an incentive to commit war crimes but it has fostered the type of culture that has lead to wars crime being committed,and the only reason they're not called as such is because they control the narrative.

[@namesurname9105]

@@jessez8503 I'm not trying to justify the US military's actions, nor am I saying that because it was likely a mistake, nobody should be held accountable. Regardless of what the cause was, the wrongdoer must be punished.

[@TigerKhan1990]

@@namesurname9105 I think those are poor excuses. Humans make errors, yes, but if a leader does not implement processes to mitigate these errors--especially when the impact is the potential loss of innocent life--that's an abdication of responsibility. You can't launder wrongful killing by saying, "erp it was a mistake" especially when any reasonable observer would have low, if any, confidence in intel analysis that can't realize, hmm, maybe the man is carrying water jugs, not bombs.

Same mistake again and again, year after year, when is the US going to learn? This is disgusting.

George Bush is the biggest terrorist in the world who's order killed millions innocent people, children in Iraq and Afghanistan by Jet bombing. Everyone knows which state killed millions innocent in just few second in Hiroshima - Nagasaki by terror nuclear bomb.

the wreck of his car, while hit by the missile, does not look as if it had exploded a large car bomb

[@saloneman3768]

True. If there was a secondary explosion, it would have decimated the surrounding structures

It was "HELLFIRE MISSILE" not a normal a normal missile! It's also called ninja missile with full of blades and stuff. Really terrifying

[@prometheus3498]

No offense, but I doubt you're an expert on this subject so what you perceive is not really relevant. That being said, the fact that three separate independent weapons experts agreed with you indicates that you are probably right (not even mentioning the fact that they most probably had laptops/water bottles in that car).

After 20 years they couldn't foresee a military defeat that took literally a week. Yet they expect us to believe they have any clue who they're bombing lol

The war was just an excuse for the government to give military contractors billions of dollars every year. Look at how terrible everything in the world's wealthiest country is. Dogshit schools, crumbling infrastructure, non-existent health care. We could have had all that and more but instead Lockheed Martin gets $40B a year and our schools can't even feed kids.

[@chrissinclair4442]

They knew the Taliban was going to take over again and advised Biden on it. They armed the wrong people. They should have armed the women and children. Unfortunately they would have also been protecting the woman and children from the last regime and the Taliban. Bacha Bazi-- boys too.

Reflecting on his Afghanistan deployment, a German soldier told that whenever there was intel on a „potential threat in a white Toyota Corolla“ they could only laugh because every 2nd car in Afghanistan appears to be a white Corolla. Tragic to see that this might have cost this man and the other victims their lives… Edit: typo

[@TheSachingm]

I ask myself how would I feel if it was my innocent child/nephew/niece that was blasted to pieces from a bomb that literally fell out of the blue? Then my reaction to the govt that fired the missile instead of apologizing or taking responsibility, saying no children were possibly killed. Or that the deaths were deemed necessary to potentially avert a bigger disaster.

Look up Anand Gopal, his most recent article. He basically interviewed Afghan villagers in the countryside. On average every woman lost 10 members of her family, they installed government had even lots of an issue targeting civilians.
