    I think something else I wanted to convey is that this headline of "we almost killed these innocent people but didn't" doesn't really leave me feeling much better about our presence in the middle east lol.

    It gives me serious "we are a moral army" vibes and it's an obvious propaganda play. Am I just a giant lib for pointing this out because everyone else here already sees that?

      No it’s a good point. If the DoD was trying to push a deliberate PR story to try and associate Biden’s presidency with “American imperialism but moral” this is exactly what they’d draw up. (but yes you probably are a giant lib regardless)
