Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) bombing

Well this isn't going to turn out good.

Quote:
At least 19 killed by strike, including three children
Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders): bombing continued for 30 minutes after warning
US forces ‘should have known’ location of hospital
US military: strike on Taliban may have caused ‘collateral’

Especially not while this guy only takes one foot out so that he can insert the other one:

Not to mention the monumental hypocrisy:

Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter called the Russian flights unprofessional and dangerous, while Secretary of State John Kerry expressed concerns about the choice of bombing targets to his opposite number, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

You would think that after 6 years it would be "Obama's war in Afghanistan" but nope - still Bush's fault.

There's a reason it's called a war and a warzone.

Don't like it, don't go. Afraid of getting killed , don't go.

And don't whine when it gets real.

Millions and millions of islamic fighters don't like it either and are headed to Europe. Just wait until the airstrikes begin there.......

Bad things happen to good people in wartime. It's the nature of the beast. Like TS said, if you don't want to get hurt, don't go.

Air strikes aren't needed when you can just condemn actions with the strongest possible language. Maybe MSF can demand an inquiry into why their charity hospital in AF is necessary in the first place.
