Double tap strikes were indeed routine, especially under Obama. Don't try rewriting history.

Nobody's rewriting anything - I've never done a deep dive into drone strikes, and I've clearly said I don't believe we should have gone into Afghanistan in the first place.

The entire covert drone-strike program (which also happens in Pakistan, Yemen, Libya, Syria, Somalia, and probably others) not only kills innocent civilians, but is probably the best way for the U.S. to breed more terrorists.

I can only imagine how I'd feel if my family was wiped out by drones fired off by a foreign force occupying my neighborhood. But every president has allowed this to continue. Every. Single. One.

What gives?

When I'm feeling especially sour on our foreign interventions cum nation building, I refer to them as the trillion-dollar terrorist training camps. As I remember vividly (though repeated attempts over the years have failed to find a link to the story), the first rocket attack by the insurgency against our forces in Iraq was launched from the back of a horse cart.

Or the dude who burns the American flag and catches his own clothes on fire, or fires a shoulder-fired weapon and gets knocked on his butt...

Or catches his buddies foolishly standing a couple feet behind him in the back blast.

But seriously, some of those Road Warrioresque pickups are actually kind of ingenious.

Was it Patton who is credited with saying "don't tell a soldier how to do his job - tell him the mission, and he'll amaze you with his ingenuity". (or something like that)

Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.

He was my father's idol and role model having served under him in Europe.

This isn't from the one I'm thinking of but gets the point across.
