Over 50 killed on air strike in Yemen

why does it matter? it's impossible to prosecute a war without collateral damage. Do you think the US should expose itself to greater liability and write a mea culpa letter every time a noncombatant dies in a war zone? Do you think a formal apology makes the survivors feel any better? And how many countries do you think actually compensate the survivors for the loss of their loved ones, potentially their providers?

don't you ever get sick of trying to find reasons to hate everything about America, easily the greatest, most generous nation in the history of the world?

I'm sorry but collateral damage is never good especially with little boys and girls..

He doesn't care, since these were brown kids who didn't have the good sense to be born in America, not white American kids like his.

with all due respect, this is a completely nonsensical response to my post. who ever said collateral damage was good?

and this is even dumber, but not surprising coming from a shameless leftist bigot...

Maybe I read your post wrong but " it's impossible to prosecute a war without collateral damage" & "Do you think the US should expose itself to greater liability and write a mea culpa letter every time a noncombatant dies in a war zone?"

Seems to to say it happens, we should live with it. And we shouldn't have any liability or feel bad about it because it's a war.. And why are we allowing Saudi Arabia to run the show..

that's reading quite a bit into what I wrote, especially since I didn't mention Saudi Arabia or what happened in Yemen.

What it's saying is it sucks but it happens so at times we have to live with it. Taking the government to task for not formally admitting responsibility when a noncombatant dies is a bit nit picky, particularly in cases where we're effectively admitting responsibility by paying the victim's survivors. If our military commanders and elected officials were vocally denying responsibility and refusing to help the survivors then that's a different story.
