1. THANK YOU for

posting this.

When asked "are we the callous uncaring bloodthirsty people who pay contractors and pentagon personnel to do these horrible things?" I have to answer "yes we are". Then to ask why and what to do about it? How do we become the caring and generous people we seem to think we are?

If we find it "embarrassing" - imagine the people in the film! PLEASE.

THINK ABOUT IT. In my Facebook post I propose that if you are in the bakery on the main street downtown and the tavern across the street and down a door or two is targeted, it's a good bet that YOU WILL DIE, along with all the children playing or walking nearby or perhaps in a day care center in the same building. SHAME!

What do we reap by sowing such indiscriminate death? We harvest GENERATIONS of sworn enemies. Excellent strategy, wouldn't you say? NOT

I am a 66 year old vet who gave 6 years and am ashamed to live in such a place. WHAT HAVE WE BECOME?

2. What do we reap by sowing such indiscriminate death?

Tis a grand way to destabilize countries.
Countries which have the resources that we want to plunder, or those which are located in a key transportation route for those resources ( Yemen, for example).
Iraq is a perfect example. First thing that was destroyed was the infrastructure..but NOT the oil fields or related equipment. In fact, they were immediately protected.
Then contractors were given millions of tax dollars to "re-build" the infrastructure that we had spent millions of dollars destroying.
Meanwhile, the populace was so busy trying to survive that they could not mount any effective protest against the international oil barons taking over the oil resources.
Which is why we will be in mineral and oil rich Afghanistan for eons. Our original goal of invading to "find Bin Laden" has morphed into identifying a series of "enemies" who come and go.
All dead that we drone, over there, are called "militants".

3. to play devils advocate..

some people would say its the home countries fault for not keeping terrorists out of their country... which would have prevented the need for drones in the first place. if people are so fed up with our actions, why dont they take charge of the situations in their nations so its unnecessary? Why do these home governments get no blame what so ever for conflicts involving their people? Why wont civilians take a stand against hunted/wanted murderers in their homeland?
i mean, where was bin laden found again ?

to my personal view..
there is no doubt that these misplaced attacks only create more anger/disdain along with more fighters against the united states
