In the story titled “The Deadly Kabul Mistake” posted by the Editorial Board of The Wall Street Journal, we can read: “The Pentagon acknowledged Friday that a U.S. drone strike killed innocent civilians on Aug. 29 amid the frantic American exit from Afghanistan.”
This is not the first mistake the United States made using drones in the war against terror. If we review information available about this war of the last twenty years, in different times, drone attacks have also killed innocent people.
However, the case of Kabul was a terrible mistake because the drone didn’t point against the terrorists involved in the bombing attack of the Airport.
Always that the military uses drones as remote weapons, they need to make a previous intelligence work to determine if the drones are pointing exactly against the enemy target. And they have to observe the potential attack scene before the shooting.
Technology in the hands of irresponsible operators can make terrible mistakes that don't have pardon.
