Wow....how is this a disgusting attitude? I never said "shit happens". More explaining from personal experience that this videos didn't show anything out of the norm with dealing with actual Taliban.
It’s worse that it’s not “out of the norm” than if it was an isolated incident.
....was only saying that this video doesn't prove it was innocent lives....

#24Gee... After seeing this, I wonder why the Taliban have the support of the populace in Afghanistan.

#26I wonder if Facebook Twitter etc. banning violent and bloody content has prevented the public from protesting these things more widely. It is well known that TV broadcasts of Vietnam led to outrage growing against that war.
Indeed it was. It is a potent infoweapon.
Israel tried hard to prevent release of news coverage with blown to bits Palestinian children on every silly pretext, including "gory content." Yet, when it were blown to bits Israeli children from bombings, they were all over CNN.
The world's outrage is clearly not poweless.

#27Don't waste your time, this video doesn't show anything about killing accidentally. War sucks and civilian casualties do happen but this says nothing. Taliban were known for dressing as females to get out of situations and using children as "cover".
What a disgusting attitude you have. Imagine if somebody invaded the US because they didn't like the Biden administration. In the process they kill your family, but don't worry, it's just civilian causalities during a war. Shit happens.

#28Is it cynical to think this was intentionally leaked to boost support for withdrawing from Afghanistan?
Aside from delusional Trump loyalists that have now flip-flopped and are praising the Taliban, most Americans overwhelmingly supported withdrawing years ago.

#29Is it cynical to think this was intentionally leaked to boost support for withdrawing from Afghanistan?
Is it cynical to think about all the rest of the suppressed material out of the public domain previously to reduce objections to maintaining a military involvement?

#30The journalist seems reckless for publishing a photo of the journal. Transcribe that to protect your source.
