THE PENTAGON HAD been slowly dedicating more resources to killing fewer civilians in recent years, following a long drumbeat of damning investigations of civilian casualties by the press, nongovernmental organizations, government-supported think tanks, and even the U.S. military itself.
But now, under the control of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, the Department of Defense is reversing course.
The Intercept spoke with five current and former Defense Department officials familiar with its Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response, or CHMR, efforts, who say that the Pentagon is in the process of eliminating or downsizing offices, programs, and positions focused on preventing civilian casualties during U.S. combat operations.
Kill more civilians, radicalize the survivors against you, generate more enemies, bomb new radicalized enemies, kill more civilians…
It’s the Palestine Plan Reprise
So disappointed!
I had read the headline as meaning:
By cutting Defense Department programs, Hegseth will reduce civilian casualties.
But obviously I should have known, because GOP=fascist asshole.
These people are so gross.
This couldn’t possibly backfire!
-Some idiot, probably.
So like hamas is a casualty of genocide….
