    You should really read that definition of avoid. Because you keep using it as an absolute term when it very much is not.

    And I don’t care if you were some white coat back in the States. I was on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan. If we weren’t worried about avoiding civilian casualties we wouldn’t have gotten out with so few.

      could have avoided all of them. literally every single one.

          you can always choose whether to pull the trigger. “following orders” is not a defense.

          also, that doesn’t change whether the us avoids killing civillians. they clearly do not.
