Yea cause we are totally intentionally killing children over there.
How many drone pilots do you know in real life?
I know quite a few and I can tell you they are not blood thirsty maniacs. They have a job to do, they have a feeling of responsibility to their country (and I know pilots from multiple countries, so its not just a rah rah murca thing either) and when they are providing CAS they have a connection with the men and women on the ground they are helping out.
It sucks random non-combatants get killed, but thats how the die is cast sometimes. Could we do better? Probably. Should we? Yes. Can we? I think we try our hardest to, but sometimes it just doesn't work out. |

:wtf:
Also:

One of the three devices used in the May 2010 Times Square attempted bombing was a pressure cooker, the intelligence report said. |

You can use pressure cookers to increase the relative pressure of the blast, which is helpful in propelling projectile fragmentation. It is a way to use low grade explosives in a more effective manner.
Also lol that people doubted me when I said the explosives looked crude/low intensity... Pretty easy to tell from looking at the blasts that there wasn't a massive concussive force in the explosions. The point was the fling frag and shrapnel around to cause wounding, and it sadly did just that. :( |

Did someone suffocate you and forget to finish the job, leaving you a blithering idiot, or did you have something intelligent you wanted to add? |

He was being callous, saying Eddie was overreacting when he explained his mother was shot and he kept spewing nonsense. Should Nou tell someone to man up because losing someone in a terrorist attack "is no big deal", then I'd give him das boot for being downright offensive; same if he implied a TA was involved and tried to "punish" them here with verbal abuse. However, I've always been quite tolerant when it comes to voicing unorthodox opinions, even if they're unpleasant... and I don't intend to change it now. |

You've added all the intelligence we could possibly need to this thread. |
