Nobody's Perfect

In the latest accomplishment of Mission Afghanistan, some dozens of civilians have allegedly been maximally detrimented in US airstrike. The Americans apparently targeted three villages with their usual precision, and were much surprised when the villages were found to contain villagers. It has, after all, been a long time since My Lai, and the quality of American airstrikes has deteriorated considerably since the days when the only civilian casualties were human shields or terrorist sympathisers. In those days, the airstrikes were surgical and precision; now the ones that kill civilians are necessarily errant, in contrast with those of the Russians and their Syrian allies, who never make mistakes.
