The U.S. military killed 168 children because nobody updated the map.
The military’s coordinates were 13 years old. The building had become a school a decade ago, and satellite imagery from three months ago showed children playing there. Pentagon investigators confirmed the findings Wednesday. Trump said “I don’t know about that.” He also said there’s practically nothing left to target, and the war ends whenever he decides.
Trump has also long said he wants homeless people off the streets and into institutions. On Wednesday, VA attorneys were given authority to initiate involuntary proceedings to strip homeless veterans of their legal rights and institutionalize them.
The government that spent $11.3 billion in six days on this war has decided that’s what it owes the people it sent to fight. Demand Congress hold hearings on the intelligence failures that killed those children, and on what this country does to veterans once the wars are over.
