Jesus. You do not know what you are talking about. In an operation like this, a Western style democracy simply does not do what you are imagining. You have never been trained as a CACO, have you? You ever dealt with anything related to what is involved in notifying next of kin of a death? Can you imagine the political fallout if we found out that the X administration had lied to the public about Afghanistan casualties in order to maintain public support for the war?
Just stop.
Ffs, every single one of your arguments has some sort of glaring logical fallacy whether it be inductive reasoning, a false dilemma, straw man, appeal to authority, ad hominem, appeal to emotion, etc. You have put words in my mouth (and others) at every opportunity and have conducted yourself in manor which has already resulted in a warning. Is it really that hard to admit there may in fact be a large delta between publicly available info and what's actually happening on the ground?
