An airstrike that was meant to target ISIS in Syria instead killed 18 Syrian Democratic Forces personnel because it was "misdirected," U.S. Central Command said Thursday.
The strike Tuesday by an aircraft from the U.S.-led coalition was called in by American allies, the U.S. military says. It adds that the coalition is now studying what went wrong to prevent similar mistakes in the future.
"The strike was requested by the partnered forces, who had identified the target location as an ISIS fighting position," the command said in a statement about the April 11 attack. "The target location was actually a forward Syrian Democratic Forces fighting position."
Trump gets the same treatment Obama got, his watch, his fault.
If you think it should be different because he's 'special', you're wrong.
That is absolutely correct. They were the first to raise holy Hell when Obama was President and anything like this happened, but now they are all so forgiving and understanding.
Somehow, "oops" doesn't seem like enough of a response.
And who knows where will be next with trigger-happy Trump.
Happens all the time in war. The Target and Location is only as good as the Intelligence from many sources.
Trump set the tone and Obama was laughed at.
I take a strong President over some who advocates from leading from behind!
