I get we bomb and drone strike, but not sure we’re doing all that “all over the world for decades.”
If you're actually interested in the topic, I encourage you to read up on it. Maybe start here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_war_crimes
Or maybe here if you're specifically doubting the "killing civilians indiscriminately and butchering babies" part:

And before someone starts whatabouting that this kind of behavior happens everywhere all the time: Yes, absolutely. That's why all armed conflicts are utter tragedies.
I’m aware that is soldiers have done some horrific stuff, but it seems like the accusation is that the U.S. military has endorsed Hamas like tactics. The us seems to throw people in jail often as a resolution to these accounts, where as Hamas, reportedly, celebrates these actions.
In terms of wataboutism, isn’t ravens initial comment peak whataboutism?
I'm really not trying to get into political or moral arguments on Slap, and I regret posting anything on this topic already, so forgive me if this is my last reply in this matter:
Hamas is an internationally shunned terror organization, the US military is part of the executive branch of the most powerful country in the world and by far the strongest armed force in existence. There's really no comparing the two on any level, and that's not what I tried to do with my post.
I just saw your statement and misread it as you thinking the US military wasn't in the business of intentionally killing children and civilians, so I posted something. If you think these actions are the result of the proverbial few bad apples and not of systemic nature, cool. Chances are I won't be able to convince you otherwise, and I would really like to focus my time and energy on here on skateboarding related matters.
