We all knew Trump was lying when he claimed Iran blew up their own school, but now we have the photos showing a US cruise missile hitting the site. The same type of cruise missile is featured in social media posts by the US, being fired from a ship on the same day.

So yeah, somebody who is probably in their early 20s gets to live with the knowledge that they pushed that button, while a raging asshole posted about it on social media, and of course, almost 160 children died.

@mcnado I wonder how people twist the things that they've done in their minds so they can live with themselves. I know military folks who are haunted by their own actions.

I was never in the military so I don't know but is it possible that at least some of the soldiers directly involved really didn't know their target was a girls' school? As in, they weren't told the truth so that they'd have no qualms about pushing the buttons?

@IAmDannyBoling @mcnado It is very possible. I do think they knew they were targeting fishing boats off the coast of Venezuela, though.

They also knew there were survivors and followed orders to either let them drown or to blow them up again. I don't recognize my country anymore.

@IAmDannyBoling @mcnado true that.

I am extremely upset with the Coast Guard. Their whole thing is Search and Rescue, not Search and Destroy!

@IAmDannyBoling @mcnado I have to shake myself out of being completely distraught with the state of humanity. Horrible people are loud and draw a lot of attention to themselves. There are plenty of good people, good souls with integrity, they just are quiet about the good that they do for other people.
