U.S. Detains Survivors of Its Own 'Precision' Strike
The Pentagon's latest 'surgical strike' apparently left two individuals alive, a rare failure in their mission to reduce all inconvenient witnesses to dust. Instead of, say, medical aid or an apology, the U.S. response was detention. One might recall similar scenarios where the term 'collateral damage' is trotted out to dismiss any human cost, especially when the targets are dark-skinned and their
'threat' status is defined by Washington. This pattern resurfaces, raising questions about accountability—or rather, the distinct lack thereof—when U.S. ordnance finds its mark. This isn't just an isolated incident; it's practically a doctrine. From drone strikes in Yemen to 'anti-piracy' operations, the narrative consistently omits the mundane reality of human lives caught in the crossfire. We're
told these strikes are about 'security,' but for whom, exactly? Certainly not for the surviving individuals who now face detention for experiencing the direct, lethal consequences of U.S. foreign policy. It appears some people are only targets until they prove inconveniently resilient.
