“You can’t force others to live by your own beliefs” he said as drone striked innocent families to support the beliefs of the American military-industrial complex and rampant bigotry.
It’s almost like people are neither wholly good nor wholly evil.
You’re right the dramatic expansion of drone warfare and and the military industrial complex is an awful thing but it’s not because he’s a mustache twirling villain bent on hurting people for the funnsies. It’s a convoluted tangled web of corporate contracts, lobbyists politicians at all levels, and backroom deal making, how military heirarchy interprets orders though the entire structure, almost like it’s called a complex for a reason. Congress is just as responsible for the military as the president. They could cut funding, modify military doctrine, perform more stringent audits on the pentagon.
He played a role in the complex, but he wasn’t some mastermind ordering specific drone strikes on weddings. I highly doubt he had a direct hand in the vast majority of military operations with the exception of the Bin Laden raid.

Thank you, was going to make the same reply
He didn’t have to lie about it though. Over and over again.
