Clinging for life after being bombed
American soldiers murdered them under the illegal orders to show no quarter
With bombs and no way to fight back
We can show no mercy to those murderers
Or they are coming for us
Mark my words
THEY ARE COMING FOR US
This stops now or never

"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism.
Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.

Remember 6 weeks ago when Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of the U.S. military’s southern command, abruptly decided to retire?
Makes me think at least one top-ranking officer knows what a war crime is.

He's clocked the fact that he may be charged with murder, or similar, in 3 years time, unless Trump issues him a pardon. He'd better not fall out with Trump in the meantime. So he really is Trump's bitch now, even if he wasn't before.
