My understanding was they had insane rules of engagement with the drones like circling around for secondary strikes when people rushed in to help (under the preposterous theory that anyone who aided someone hit by a drone strike was essentially an accomplice of the target).
I mean, once you start digging into the idea of aerial bombardment of countries your country isn’t even at war with, in light of wacky things like international law, when said people getting blown up are unarmed and doing shit like sleeping or driving in a caravan, you start getting a fairly decent war criminal argument going. Throw in killing US citizens overseas sans trial and killing hundreds of civilians in said drone wars and the argument just gets stronger.
