Department of War Clarifies: Not a 'Double-Tap,' Just Enthusiastic Aid Delivery
When the Department of War denies a 'double-tap' on survivors, it's not because they suddenly developed a conscience; it's because the optics of mass murder become inconvenient. The term 'double-tap' implies a calculated strike where first responders—often civilians—are targeted after the initial attack. This exact tactic has been documented by human rights groups in previous conflicts involving
U.S.-backed forces, from Gaza to Afghanistan, turning rescue efforts into death traps for innocent bystanders. They aren't 'disputing' the action, just the PR-unfriendly label. One might wonder if the 'Department of War' (a.k.a. Pentagon) has ever *not* denied something that makes them look bad while simultaneously funding the very militaries that employ such tactics. This linguistic gymnastics
routine is standard operating procedure for a government that funnels billions in military aid, like the estimated $3.8 billion annually to Israel, while simultaneously feigning moral outrage when methods like 'double-tapping' are employed. It’s not a malfunction; it’s an intended feature of perpetual conflict.
