Pentagon investigation: US hit mosque complex in Syria

First on CNN: Pentagon investigation: US hit mosque complex in Syria

"A US Central Command investigation found that a March US airstrike in northern Syria did in fact strike a building that was part of a "mosque complex," two US defense officials told CNN Thursday.

For days following the March 16 strike, the Pentagon adamantly rejected the notion that a mosque was hit and that there were civilian casualties -- even as numerous social media reports showed images of bodies being taken out of the rubble."

However I've also been told by my bizniz partners navy seal son that the bad guys are taking advantage of that. Fuck I hate that kind of stuff, but perhaps it's becoming very true that all is fair in love and war.  While I'd rather avoid conflict I do believe we try to do our best to save innocents.  Sometimes we fuck up. But it certainly isn't on the level of a my Lai type thing.

Yep...my experience is similar. I've been told the same by family members and friends in the Navy, Army and Air Force.

He continued, "As always, you know, we take extraordinary measures to mitigate the loss of civilian life in our operations."
