With my hubby and thought it needs to be blasted all over the media.
The orange one does not care about our service men and women.

We can still have empathy for those who are caught up in this illegal war.

Bombing bridges and double-tapping rescue workers are war crimes. Some of our pilots know exactly what they are doing.

That has not been proven. There are several post on the net referencing a particular pilot (who I won't name) with a picture of the young service man. Only problem is it is a picture of a pilot who was killed in a rescue mission off the coast of Oregon. Not the young pilot who died on a Saudi base. From what I have read neither one was involved in the school bombing.

... the school was hit by missiles, especially since it was reputed to be what they call a "double tap", which is, in and of itself, an utterly obscene thing to do, since the second "tap" is intended to kill first responders to the injured of the first one. Despicable. But then, that perfectly describes everything and everyone even tangentially associated with this malignant regime.
May each and every one of these subhuman monsters be subjected to a double tap. Let's start with Russell Vought, and work our way up to Satan.

And I do consider it a war crime.
That is not what I was addressing with my answer to the poster. The poster was indirectly blaming a pilot for the attack on the school. Consensus is it was a tomahawk missile that hit the school, which are not deployed from aircraft.

There is a very nasty rumor going around the net from tic toc to reddit stating that the pilot who was killed at the Saudi airbase was the pilot that bombed the school. There is a picture of a pilot accompanying these post that is not him but of another pilot who died in a rescue mission off the coast of Oregon.

I did take offense to their comment of
"I don't like pilots who bomb schools." It seemed to me to be in reference to the rumors on line

We need to go a little further up the food chain. Maybe start at the top.

As an aircrew member, I had to go to survival school and pow training. This made me hate Trump so bad. I'll never forget it. My heart has been very heavy lately. I cried when I read that our pilots had been shot down over enemy territory. It's just a deep connection I will always have.

So his feelings are the same towards them as it was towards McCain. He will never look at himself and the decisions he made and the problem being there.
