(17,469 posts)The U.S. is widely reported to "double tap" target with drones, i.e. send a second drone in ten or fifteen minutes after the first. This would be about the time rescue workers (fireman, paramedics, good Samaritans) are showing up, innocent people doing their job or trying to help, who die because the U.S. wants to be sure that they kill the person their questionable intelligence tells them are bad guys, and tells them where they are when they launch the drone.
Again, you are also conflating a WAR, with people in uniform, fighting other people in uniform, who work directly for a nation state and that nation state is DIRECTLY involved in hostile action against us, with a criminal act.
The proper analogy would be if the FBI used a drone to kill a mobster who they had been unable to arrest for whatever reason and blew up your house as well. I doubt you would really care what their "intentions" were if they killed your family in the process. Would you feel better because they didn't willfully murder your family while they acted in a reckless and illegal manner?
