Comment on Obama's got jokes

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.

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”?

No I’m saying that was probably their justification for doing so. I don’t think it was right at all.
