The United States has a variant of the AGM-114 Hellfire missile that replaces the explosive warhead with six scimitar blades. Because fuck That Guy, the whole That Guy and nothing but the That Guy.
Which would come as a surprise to hundreds of dead Iranian schoolgirls.
Turns out the military under Trump is more a "fuck that town in particular" affair.
You know, I'm still struggling to believe the story I've been told about that. "The US bombed an elementary school."
For my entire life, the US has demonstrated precision munitions. The AGM-114 Ginsu is an air-to-ground laser-guided rocket that can kill an individual passenger in a car. We can fly a Tomahawk cruise missile into a specific window of a building. I've seen a bridge in Iraq bombed seconds after the last car crossed. Not saying GI Joe is a paragon of virtue, I've seen the pictures from Abu Ghraib, but...That shit sounds a lot more like Israel than us.
Even in the "no kill like overkill" "We don't target coordinates, we target grid squares" "enemy fire is coming from that way, destroy that way" United States, that shit sounds a lot more like Israel than us.
We're certainly attacking Iran because Israel wanted us to.
Lol. And that one village in Afghanistan you leveled, looks like who did it?
Oh, don't even pretend anyone cares about Afghanistan.
Yeah I’ve seen those. The mind that thinks up these things aye.
