Bombing of MSF hostpital in Kunduz by: Luis Ceja flex

During the middle of the night in the Afghan city of Kunduz. A series of bombing were carried out by US forces on taliban fighters who had siezed control of the city. Problem is the didn't hit taliban fighters they hit a doctors without borders hospital and killed over 20 people all of them innocent and many of them children. The bombs were droped  on the location twice with doctors without borders saying they had given the us military there co-ordinates asking them not to attack them. One of the scariest things is that many of the deaths are a result of injured people in the hospital not being able to get to a safe place. In some cases in the ICU people buring in there beds.
These events are beyond tragic there outright wrong and unnaceptable. We can't go flexing our military strength and bomb who ever and what ever we want just because we believe there MIGHT be taliban fighters in the hospital. To rely on utrustworthy evidence and expect to get away with killing innocent people in a hospital. Our country is insistent on using military force whenever we can whether it be to "protect the people of that country from a humanitarian crisis". Even if we cause them ourselves. And to "protect our economic interest". Which only benefits the richest in our country and the politicians they lobby. Our country needs to stop focusing on attacking and bombing whoever we can and instead focus on helping the people with humanitarian efforts. Not bringing war to every part of the world.
