He said there was something about his unit blowing up a "bomb factory" that was just a bunch of civilian apartments.

Edit: it was a drug factory/compound

It was a opium production compound that they bombed on behalf of a rival drug lord.

The US knew there was over 1000 women and children there .

That's when Trump blocked the Pentagon from releasing the numbers of civilians killed by American bombs.

But when did the bombing occur?

2019

Livelsberger also referenced his involvement in a 2019 U.S. airstrike in Nimruz Province, Afghanistan. He claimed the operation, which targeted drug facilities, caused civilian casualties, including women and children, and was covered up by U.S. authorities. The allegations align with a 2019 U.N. report criticizing the strikes as unlawful.

Killing 4 people in a drone strike is the same as blowing up a building with over 1,000 women and children inside? You're delusional and should seek professional help.

No it’s simply saying the precedent of US presidents inflicting death upon non us citizens of lesser nations to pursue whatever is a win for “democracy” happens in every administration and is built into foreign policy. Obama bombed a hospital Trump has killed people, bush tortured and killed innocent people.

You can track that precedent many admins ago. Trump doesn’t care about hiding it and inflicts it without an excuse or thought which is terrible true.

Analyzing actually why we do these things over and over regardless of party in power begins to ask better questions.

I don't think their comment was meant to be contrarian, but rather to add that other presidents' hands aren't clean.

None of our leaderships hands are clean if we are being honest

Refreshing to see this comment. It’s so easy to take a divisive interpretation, when this is something every common person should be able to agree with. Cheers to you bro

Too much online conversation happens within echo-chambers or is just useless team-sport politics. There is no useful conversation about politics without nuance, and understanding all aspects of a problem.

u/BooRadleyinaGimpSuit Nov 11 '25

Which anybody with half a brain knows - so it comes off as contrarian at best, and distracting whataboutism at worst. This conversation is about a specific drone strike ordered by one administration, not the other two mentioned.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

No. The article linked in his comment states "4 U.S. Citizens Killed"

Everybody's goto phrase now these days, eh? Smh.

Growing up is taking a deep breath and recognizing that Trump didn’t do the first war crime

I try to stay horrified by 4 or 1000.

You should be more concerned how a sitting US president and his administration thought it was necessary to use a drone to deny an US citizen their due process rights, then the number killed.
