A United States military investigation into a deadly Kabul drone strike in August has found that it killed 10 civilians and the driver and the vehicle targeted was likely not a threat associated with ISIS-K, Gen. Frank McKenzie, the top general of US Central Command, announced at the Pentagon on Friday.
They end up doing this because they know nobody in media or the government will push back any further. There however should be massive pushback against the idea this was a mistake. The military did not know who they were targeting, they did not confirm what these people were doing, they chose to fire on them anyway and then fabricated a story based on evidence we know did not exist. Remember they claimed to kill a specific member of ISIS-K who they never named and now we know there was no evidence any ISIS-K members were even there. It's not an accident if you close your eyes and shoot into a crowd of people, carelessness does not remove intent.
