8:49Now PlayingThe US Military apologizes and takes responsibility for a drone strike that claimed the lives of ten civilians including those of seven children.

SS: Certainly during the Trump years. And we also know that they rolled back this sort of any type of- they made it easier to kill civilians. Now, with that said this is not unique to Biden or Trump. Obama also really was the one who really ramped up the drone strikes. Now, it was just a question of like the technology really essentially appearing in time for that to happen.
