The United States has had some shady affairs with drone strikes in the past, especially in the middle east concerning Zawahiri. However, a new analysis of the data shows that even when operators target specific people or places, narrowing it down as much as possible, they still end up taking out much more then should be allowed. Many cases also require more then one strike, killing a large amount more then necessary. Studies show that the US has targeted almost 41 men and in the process 1,147 more died.
This unnecessary blood loss is a lot like the Civil war, in the United States when the North and the South turned on each other it was the bloodiest war in US history. Killing a record number of people, just over a fight about slavery. This unnecessary blood loss shows the lengths with which the US is willing to go to get what they want, and this isn't very comforting.
