An investigation by U.S. Central Command has determined that an Aug. 29 drone strike in Kabul killed an innocent aid worker and nine members of his family, not a member of the ISIS-K terrorist group, a top general announced Friday. “Our investigation now concludes that the strike was a tragic mistake." But not so tragic that some general gets fired.
McKenzie on Friday stood by the intelligence the military used to determine the target, noting the threat to the airport was posed by a "white Toyota Corolla," the same type of car that was destroyed in the strike, and that the military had "no indication that the strike would result in civilian casualties."
In the 48 hours before the strike, the military had "a substantial body of intelligence" indicating that there would be another attack, and one recurring theme was that ISIS-K would use a white Toyota Corolla as a key element, McKenzie said.
Based on that intelligence, the military began surveilling the car belonging to the target and continued observing its movements for eight hours, McKenzie said.
There are approximately 10,000 White Corollas in Kabul so the US military picked one because who but a sneaky terrorist trying to blend in drives a Toyota?
McKenzie declined to comment as to whether anyone will be disciplined over the strike, noting that the investigation is ongoing. "I have nothing for you now because that involves personnel issues," he said. Nobody in the US Military gets fired for randomly killing civilians, rag-heads or gooks, if they can imagine any kind of plausible, although lamebrain, excuse for killing.

It’s been 20 years since the beginning of the War on Terror. The U.S. launched two wars, leading to millions dead or wounded.
We also saw unmanned drones killing innocent civilians, widespread surveillance, innocent people imprisoned, and perpetual human rights abuses and war crimes; trillions of dollars, squandered. And we’re now seeing a turning point in the War in Afghanistan, with the Taliban retaking the country.
Throughout these 20 years, we’ve seen terrible systematic failures across institutions — whether it be the government, military leadership, and even the press.
And for the elite responsible for this mess?
There hasn’t been any accountability.
The people who actually led us into these wars are still there, and they still have platforms. The journalists who helped sell these wars still have platforms. The generals, and the military people, and the experts who helped justify and propagate the atrocities that took place, they still have platforms, and they have money, and they have lucrative careers.
Accountability, at least from a foreign policy perspective, looks like questioning the government’s claim, every time there is a drone strike. I would like to see Congress actually having sessions about hospitals that are destroyed, and people who are disappeared because of the U.S., or because of the U.S.’s foreign fight.
There really needs to be more holding power to account in Congress, in the courts, and in the media. And one of the things I would really love a White House reporter to do next time is to ask the Biden administration: “You’ve pulled out of Afghanistan, are you going to end the War on Terror?”

If the 40,000,000 disorganized don't want 80,000 pushing them around forever, they need to push back, but they all run and hide, instead. They have been running away from a fight all their lives because they fear death. Will somebody please show them how to grow a spine? The US Army and Marine Corps certainly failed to show them.

NO APOLOGIES
The U.S. Military Often Kills Civilians — and Rarely Offers Compensation
The U.S.-led coalition has carried out 34,781 airstrikes in Iraq and Syria since 2014, and the U.K.-based monitoring group Airwars estimates that coalition actions led to the deaths of between 8,317 and 13,190 civilians, of whom 3,715 have been identified. The coalition itself only acknowledges the deaths of 1,417 civilians. An Intercept review of public records shows that only one person whose family members were killed by a coalition airstrike in Iraq or Syria has received official compensation.
The U.S. military sometimes issues condolence or “ex gratia” payments. These are not legal compensation or an admission of liability, and civilians cannot seek them out — the military issues them at the discretion of commanders. But in 2020, despite Congress approving a $3 million fund for ex gratia payments, the Pentagon did not issue a single payment.
Conditions for making the payment do not revolve around whether there has been a wrongful death but rather whether the payment will help the U.S. “What we’ve seen in that recent interim policy is that the U.S. military really sees ex gratia pretty singularly as a counterterrorism tool,” says Annie Shiel, a senior adviser for the Center for Civilians in Conflict, or CIVIC. “This means that they have been used primarily in countries where the U.S. ground troops needed to engage with the local populace, which until recently included Afghanistan.”

Quote:The US Military lost recent wars because of exactly that attitude. The American troops kill civilians at random, causing problems for America. Remember how WWII ended? America killing civilians? What problem did that cause? Caused a nuclear arms race. America made a clear statement at the end of WWII that it would proudly kill civilians with nukes and the rest of the world made a statement that it would nuke America if America tried again.
