The Pentagon hands out the burger bun for our consumption…where’s the beef?

Where’s the evidence of this horrific allegation? Behind a paywall of propaganda.

Don’t want Americans feeling guilty about killing children. Any at all.

By the logic of…but the terrorist was using his family as a shield…where else would a man with a family live?

By that logic the glorious Pentagon should have wiped out the entire town, it was sheltering him also.

If it’s not logical, it’s propaganda.

If it had been bombed by US forces, that house would not have a first or second floor.

It would be a hole in the ground.

It's not the first time terrorist have used women and children as shields.

This was a evil man and I'm glad he is gone.

They are ALL about propaganda.
I will repeat what I said in another post...We as Americans would not be ok with another country's military coming into OUR country and taking out one that they deem are terrorists. We would NOT stand for it.
And yet, we do it quite consistently. You will notice, however, that it's always some "small" country that we have no fear of "militarily".
We never send troops into China or Russia because we are nothing more than the big bully on the block.
IMO, we have no right sending military forces into another country to "take out" terrorists. We have enough here at home to deal with. Rant off.

who were extremely educated telling me that we should just go in an nuke the entire country. Smart evangelical, although that may be an oxymoron in some circles.
I lost several of those "friends" after those exchanges.

Trump terrorist are a much bigger threat. I hear many threats of Americans being killed right here, from trumpers and even congress people than I do from ISIS. Even candidates running now, shouting lock and load at voting precincts. How many have died this past year from trump nuts and racists white assholes? We need to clean our own back yard.
