Edit for the ultra daft downvote crew: the fact the US killed civilians is directly relevant to the blub i responded to, the one claiming the US was bettter than Israel because it did not kill civilians.
For the extra determined ignoramouses ive provided this as an example :
You should really read that definition of avoid. Because you keep using it as an absolute term when it very much is not.
And I don’t care if you were some white coat back in the States. I was on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan. If we weren’t worried about avoiding civilian casualties we wouldn’t have gotten out with so few.
USA killed plenty civilianscin Iraq and Afghanistan.
Oh look a whataboutism in the wild. Maybe this definition will help you.
Lol what a pathetic taunt.

Mhhhmm. Didn’t read the definition I see.
Your link to the definition of ‘avoid’?
I avoided nothing. I addressed the issue directly.
The USA kills civilians.
Israel does at a much faster rate. A genocidal one in fact.
But that does not give any creedence to the notion the USA is innocent.
QED JFC
Now you’re moving the goalpost. Dude, just admit your wrong. The US goes to great lengths to avoid civilian casualties.
Nevwr moved the goal posts. You just need a bit more reading comprehension.
And no, civilian damage and deaths will not prevent the USA from striking targets.
Look up Obama’s record of drone striking weddings.
It is why i left the industry.
Ive been inside DARPA and the Pentagon discussong collateral damage.
Avoiding it is not a priority.
Why?
to be feared by tge enemy
so the enemy cannot use human shields
But directly targeting non combatants and hiding behind ‘faulty intelligence’ has been a common occurance.
Remember the car full of water and children the US blew up as they left Afghanistan?

could have avoided all of them. literally every single one.
have you ever seen the viral sensation “collateral murder”?
I have actually. I also saw the unedited version WikiLeaks was really hoping nobody would see.
why would they hope no one saw more?
