American presidents do not deserve a nobel peace prize.

I’d wager the majority were civilians.
I’ll never understand how you can justify classifying every male about 16 as a combatant. The US was literally invading other nations and killing their kids. Like specifically targeting them in precision strikes.

Yeah I’m not sure how they do that either. I can somewhat understand the fact that the other countries were arming the kids and thus everyone is a threat but there are specific operational guidelines that make it so this is not the case so I agree I don’t understand how that is a thing either besides the operational parameters were not correctly articulated.

were arming the kids
No no you misunderstand and male that appeared over 16 based on drone footage was considered a target. They didn’t have to be armed. The only crime these kids committed was being outside.
Now how often do you think other people like women and younger children were killed in cold blood and written off as “appeared to be a male over 16”?

I think the problem is in the value you’re attributing to a reward that is the function of a terrible dead rich guys will.

He absolutely didn’t deserve it, but since he got it, the least we can do, is to make jokes with it

But you could have stopped 2017, don’t drag it out so much! It’s far over being funny by now.
