Thanks! Not that surprised though considering what happened after 9/11. None of it is acceptable. That many civilians dead gets rid of your “fighting to protect people” stance.

We never should’ve gotten into Afghanistan or Iraq.
Even the very existence of the United States was caused by an illegitimate insurgency. That we happened to win was because of attrition and logistics. I make no illusions about the dawn of my own country.
But reality is often disappointing.
