Trump revokes Obama order on reporting civilian deaths in drone strikes


President Trump on Wednesday issued an executive order revoking an Obama-era requirement to publicly report the number of U.S. drone strikes outside of war zones and the number of civilians killed by them.

The new policy does not cover Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, areas of conflict where the United States has troops currently deployed. It only applies to drone strikes carried out by intelligence operatives — i.e., the CIA. The military reports casualties separately in the theaters where it operates.

Thank God. Since Vietnam, America is loosing all wars ( not counting Grenada ) because of this PC shit. Imagine if Roosevelt demanded the same info about Dresden, Berlin,and Truman at Hiroshima and many other places. Hitler would have won. Collateral damage is normal during the war. Over 20, 000 friendly French causalties as collateral damage during and after D Day... if the same rules of engagement applied today D Day would have never happened..
