    “You’re going to kill somebody,” one pilot said.

    Already did, an apartment building full of people just to get one dude from what I understand. But yeah, let’s focus on the security concerns bcz that’s more flashy. Not like we haven’t been bombing other countries for decades.

      Not to mention: they targeted the dudes girlfriend’s apartment.

      Like… wow. Not even his own house. In any other administration, this’d be indefensible. Now, it’s just Tuesday or whatever.

      Edit: I know this happened under Obama. I am absolutely not defending those actions. With that said, I’d bet a decade of my salary that they took the situation a whole lot more seriously than the DUI hire approach of “lol fuckin send it 👊 🇺🇸 🔥 “. That obviously doesn’t excuse the innocents killed by strikes ordered by Obama. But it is relevant context, and it speaks to the gravity (or lack thereof) that the respective involved parties treated the situation with.
