What I do is not kill innocents... what is so hard for you to understand... Bama I spent a couple of tours in country and never had to purposely kill women and children... and I and my outfit had plenty of opportunities to do just that. I am proud of my service for that reason.
Just because our enemy kills innocents is not a reason we should too. I am better than them...not so sure about you anymore.

There is nothing in this that even implies that they intentionally killed civilians.
You are jumping to baseless conclusions based on your desire for Trump to be wrong.
You assume, but have no way of knowing, that they didn't know if there were innocents present.
The fact that none were even claimed says you are dead wrong.
You are oblivious to the fact that even if there were women and children there with the way the Taliban wages war doesn't
by any means that they are non-combatants. And if there were hostages your warning would only help the combatants.
You claim to "know" that there was no attempt to be sure there were no innocents there but you refuse to tell us were you got ahold of the classified
information that you would need for that conclusion to represent anything but your bias.
On the other hand I look at the results and see that they accomplished the mission without the loss
of innocent life, that at least give me a sound basis for saying they must have taken some precautions.
