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.
@@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.

@@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.
@@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.
I’m sure the government doesn’t want to concede the fact that they killed 7 children and humanitarian workers in a botched strike days before leaving Afghanistan. The general calling it a “righteous strike” astounds me.
US "intelligence" is anything but great. This is just another example of that. No one will be responsible for this. No one will lose their job over it. Sorry, you CAN'T blame Biden for this because I am sure he was told by Military "Leadership" they were 100% sure about this and he took their word for it if he was even informed about it at all. Remember all those weapons of "Mass Destruction" that were never found. Just another example of how bad Military "Intelligence" is. They probably get their information from Social Media and like so many they believe anything/everything they read. If it's on line, it has to be true :) The Vice President is DEAD and why no one has seen her. Remember I posted it on Social media, so it has to be true :)
That last part just broke my heart. He wasn’t even on the radar for terrorism, not even suspected of anything, he was a full fledged respected member of society with a career as an engineer and humanitarian, actually trying to improve his country better by helping the best he could and if that weren’t enough, had even applied for asylum in the US thinking he and his family would have a better life….only to be killed by the same country due to botched evidence.

what's the point of such journalism when their leaders don't care at all and continue doing whatever suits them , its another great tactic of America , attack a country in name of developing it , drops missiles and then let your journalism wash your hands saying " see how independent our journalism is" ,while the leadership don't even care , hypocrites , they scream about women rights , while countries like Pakistan, India , Bangladesh, had and have women Prime minters and presidents , America continues to be ruled by patriarchy , They shout about civil rights while being a country with worse civil disorder , abusing other countries for developing nuclear weapons and forgetting they are the only one who used a nuclear bomb and is responsible for millions of deaths , America created Taliban, they still eye on resources of other countries and thinking they have a monopoly on everything even the moon. why anything against American government is never reveled by any other international news agency ? because America don't let them ! This is their common practice making their own media question them before any other country try to do ! and if they do , just declare them terrorist nation and invaded and let your civilians think they are paying taxes because their soldiers are at war , in few years America will invade some other country because they need to keep the cycle running

@@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.
@@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.
ALL war crimes are just tragic mistakes - if you're on the winning side.
I’m sure the government doesn’t want to concede the fact that they killed 7 children and humanitarian workers in a botched strike days before leaving Afghanistan. The general calling it a “righteous strike” astounds me.

I mean, they’ve done it before. To them, it’s like following a precedent.
US "intelligence" is anything but great. This is just another example of that. No one will be responsible for this. No one will lose their job over it. Sorry, you CAN'T blame Biden for this because I am sure he was told by Military "Leadership" they were 100% sure about this and he took their word for it if he was even informed about it at all. Remember all those weapons of "Mass Destruction" that were never found. Just another example of how bad Military "Intelligence" is. They probably get their information from Social Media and like so many they believe anything/everything they read. If it's on line, it has to be true :) The Vice President is DEAD and why no one has seen her. Remember I posted it on Social media, so it has to be true :)
And got 13 Marines most under 24 years old killed.... Biden killed more young people than Covid 19...

what's the point of such journalism when their leaders don't care at all and continue doing whatever suits them , its another great tactic of America , attack a country in name of developing it , drops missiles and then let your journalism wash your hands saying " see how independent our journalism is" ,while the leadership don't even care , hypocrites , they scream about women rights , while countries like Pakistan, India , Bangladesh, had and have women Prime minters and presidents , America continues to be ruled by patriarchy , They shout about civil rights while being a country with worse civil disorder , abusing other countries for developing nuclear weapons and forgetting they are the only one who used a nuclear bomb and is responsible for millions of deaths , America created Taliban, they still eye on resources of other countries and thinking they have a monopoly on everything even the moon.
why anything against American government is never reveled by any other international news agency ? because America don't let them ! This is their common practice making their own media question them before any other country try to do ! and if they do , just declare them terrorist nation and invaded and let your civilians think they are paying taxes because their soldiers are at war , in few years America will invade some other country because they need to keep the cycle running

catherine i don’t think china should be associated with america government. they cant be trusted. this has been proven. i think there are using the chinese government to push for world power. this video is proof.
thing is the us government has been doing this for DECADES its just that they are getting caught doing it now. no country should associate themselves with biden or the us government. they cant be trusted
The "war on terror" created more 'terrorists' this way. Could you blame someone who had their family murdered?
Well put!
Why US military person who responsible for this is not considered as war crime?
I know right and it was ordered by the pentagon and biden administration
Because it was used for Biden's political gain, therefore not a war crime according to the US media, aka state propaganda.
Those children get killed at the happiest time of a child could have: when their father back from work.
RIP Ahmady, your death was nothing but a bad day in the pentagon.
R.i.p.to the family.
Biden is the worst president
if you die Muslims would say it's haram to say RIP to an infidel yet you showing empathy to them.
@@abimbolaaku2709 Every US president in modern times has killed people like this, committed war crimes.
@@gonzalojimenezdequesada9443 Muslims are generally some of the chillest people you'll ever meet. You're just conflating all Muslims with some extremists.
And what you said goes against the Quran anyways, Muslims are chill about religious differences.
The Quran says to show respect to the ahl al-kitāb/'People of the Book' meaning Christians, Jewish people, and in modern usage, includes other monotheistic religions.
For other religions and atheists, the Quran says "I do not worship what you worship, nor do you worship what I worship. I will never worship what you worship, nor will you ever worship what I worship. You have your way, and I have my Way.”
The Quran also forbids forced conversion. "There shall be no compulsion in religion."
Any quotes besides these are about the wars of the time, taken out of context, and mistranslated or misrepresented by both anti-Islamic bigots and Islamic extremists for their causes. Religion's scholars have been trying to educate people on this forever.
This is disgusting. I’m so ashamed that my government is murdering people because they live in the wrong country, have the wrong skin, and own a common vehicle. Nothing else about this man indicates anything sinister. And how is a building owned by an American company an unknown compound?? Why don’t you know that!? My heart goes out to his family and friends.

military wanted to retaliate for attacks on their soldiers, but its very hard when ur enemy keeps hiding among innocent people. at some point they probably just get fed up and bomb them knowing the risk.

Yes, it was never clear why we were bombing so many weddings. Was there some kind of racial bias?
Heart breaking. How dumb can a huge military organisation be? Very dumb! The use of drones brings another shocking indictment.
I honestly feel like anyone with common sense could’ve handled this situation way more ethically than anyone at the pentagon…
Not just the pentagon...its from top down. Commander-in-chief (Biden) to the Generals that provide him his info. The US is in trouble...these were the "adults" we replaced the orange man with. US is falling apart.

For you Sad or whatever your name is, you may have your reasons for being bitter but you are barking up the wrong tree here.
The most disturbing thing to me is that the man and all the children killed in this act of terror will never get justice and the killers will roam the earth freely
That’s why there is a hereafter life so that these kind of people will get their justice.
and also honoured with medals for there so called brave acts should all be stood on trial the exact same as Salah Abdeslam and th 19 others standing trial for the same actions
Inshallah they will get justice.

@@JD-lt7uv A blip of time where he wasn’t recorded does not an terrorist make. It doesn’t account for the secondary explosives that experts say weren’t in the car, especially when the US specifically make mention of secondary explosives that go off when his car is bombed. It also doesn’t account for the multiple character witnesses that have vouched for him as an aid worker for a US company. We know IS take responsibility for their attacks, if he or his community were working for an extremist group they wouldn’t be silent about it. A reporter’s job doesn’t always have to be to uncover the full transparent unquestionable truth, that’s not always possible. The purpose of reporting like this is to question the story given by authorities when there’s holes in it, to start a discourse, and encourage transparency. The US have gotten it wrong in the past, it’s okay to question whether they’re wrong now.
So you say "Humanity" and "Democracy" in the U.S. Interesting lies!
More interestingly, it's not first nor last. They're absolute liars
They are hypocrite
Humanity, democracy is a theory/concept, it's already applied in US, but you know, there is a human/person who running the government, which mean they are the one who uphold the concepts, and not every person in governement is good, they have interest beside their duties.
“It was a righteous strike”
They really lied to them our faces and almost got away with it. Imagine how many other strikes were false flags…
That is kinda of a war crime right? How can u just blast a civilian car like that?
You only get charged for war crimes of you lose power.
*if
Tell me, what war didn’t have war crimes. You making war sound like a playground of happy fighting. Expect civilians to die every time there’s a war. Innocent people die each day from many things we can prevent, no one cares, everyone cares when the media gets involved.

@@x2kingasian559 What you hear and what is happening are two different things. War crimes are committed in every war. In the USA if one was accused of committing a war crime he would stand trial by his own army..Listen to me, I speak as a friend. Why do you suppose so many things are said about the USA all around the world? Consider this:
Freedom and liberty have become very rare all around the world and America is rich with it.
Think about Batman, or superman or any other hero. Even though they had saved many lives there were many who spoke very bad of them. Dont listen to everything you hear friend. Truth is abundant out there but not many people look for it nor do they have it. Did you know when I was younger I had the same types of thoughts as you?

Last act of terror ? Biden sounds like hes ready to drone attack unvaxxed Americans.
Twenty year of terror, bud..? What about 9/11..? You're living in the wrong Country. Since our founding, the USA, has been in war, or conflict of war, over 95 percent of the time. And guess, it's mostly been a democratic president, who brought us in war.

This is heartbreaking. What's even more infuriating to know is that no one will be held accountable for this, and in a few years this case will be completely out of the minds of the ones that did this.
What’s worse is they’ll just repeat it again a few years after that.
A few years? Try a few days. Did you already forget about the “ISIS-K leader” who was “found”? Yep, another family murdered, yet was claimed as a successful target. Disgusting! Biden and his military have blood on their hands!
oh they will be held accountable at the day of Judgement , GOD never Forget what these terrorists commit crimes every thing will be at front of them
The US government is a terrorist organization.
They will end up on the street with depression.
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.

No offense, but I doubt you're an expert on this subject so what you perceive is not really relevant.
