Why is this war propaganda on the front page?
zorbivore
I like that

Sadly, as an Australian, we do not have heavenly angels. We have the SAS and they come from somewhere else entirely.

So, she's living on an oil field?

If she lives there then its not a foreign country.

Angel of Death... is not the hero she wanted

darkdeathdemonlord66642069
blah, I hate this propaganda shit on here.
MagnusTheRedCyclops
Honestly, it was meant to be more of a feel good kind of thing... Like not all soldiers are bad.
mordaedil
It doesn't help that we're also bringing terror to these people. Saw a John Oliver clip of a guy being scared of the blue sky because drones
motophiliac
It's very good, it's really stirring, but it is an embarrassingly huge misrepresentation of a far larger horror. We need better governments.
SyyGuy
Wow that's fucking obnoxious

A Danish guy was rescued by US Special forces a while back, his comment was 'I was fortunate to have been kidnapped alongside an American'

George W Bush may have said it best, "I'm not gonna fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt."

What fucked up world compares agents of death with pinnacle beings of salvation. I'm pro-military but there's nothing angelic about war.
theactualdeadpool
Angels aren't supposed to be beautiful. They are, and always have been, warriors. And they are fucking terrifying.
StrawberryPrincess92
Or if you prefer "And the angels, terrible and without pity, carry savage weapons, and their torture is unmerciful" 2/3 (sorry)
Solrendar
Perhaps old testament angelic.
StrawberryPrincess92
Bolth quotes are attributed to the Apostle Paul, although I cannot speak for their authenticity with any great certainty. 3/3

The point is that I think it's appalling to liken the dreams of a downtrodden little girl to the arrival of foreign soldiers in her country.
HamboneHFY
For your attention: USAF Pararescue Jumpers. Those men ARE angels. Lifesavers jumping into the most dangerous places "that others may live"
skelitor120
I was in AFROTC I know what pararescue is, I still don't think war is heavenly.
HamboneHFY
There's a difference between war itself and the people who do wonderful things in times of war.
StrawberryPrincess92
"Even now in Heaven there are Angels carrying Savage Weapons" 1/2
changerofways9
And at least one had a .308 flaming sword of justice.
StrawberryPrincess92
what...like a gunblade from final fantasy? how would that even work? why would you chamber a sword?
changerofways9
It's a New Vegas thing
StrawberryPrincess92
I've played new Vegas, I've beaten it and all the DLC, I can only assume you mean something mr. new Vegas said, but I can't place it.
changerofways9
Yeah, exactly, if you complete Boone's sidequest and save Bitter Springs from the Legion patrol. The Mr. New Vegas will quote that.

HALO!

In the non-fictional American military HALO means High Altitude Low Opening. Referring to the parachute insertion technique
DamnObamaSucks
I know that you're wrong.
Snowblind176
Why does this have downvotes????
Snowblind176
Oh wait -1
TheTrueChosenJuan
Because it's wrong. The meaning is "High altitude, Low opening" referring to the drop height and the point at which the canopy is opened.

High Altitude Low Opening
MrGoober91
Archer reference? I think it's Archer reference
Raz0rking
No..HALO is a game (duh) and a way jumping from planes. High Altitude Low Openeing =) (i hope this wasnt a joke)
mikepureawesomeness
You know the oldest lie in America, little girl?
Squossifrage
Well of course they lie, most of them are too sick and frail to stand.
MagnusTheRedCyclops
Nah, it's our ego mate... Too heavy and all that stuff..
Cambino
Awesome. Last time America sent something down to save her, it was from a drone. And now she doesn't have a school anymore. Or classmates.
tekphreak
Or a pulse.
DMlizard
Or a synonym roll
rawrfrawrf
or legs
JoeNoPhoto
Or skin on the blind side of her face

You ain't got no legs Lieutenant Little Girl!

Oh would you look at that, another nationalist "murica fuck yeah" spam bot. All we're missing is the gun posts now.
StrawberryPrincess92
as an american I dig the whole "merica, fuck yeah" kind of thing when it's a parody, but waaaay to many people take that shit seriously
QuotesGoHere
You guys are just precious, you know that?
MagnusTheRedCyclops
Uhh... I'm not a bot. J-just letting you know they.. (They're on to me)

StrawberryPrincess92
Unfortunately her family lived on the same block as a suspected terrorist, So the United States sent a Reaper Drone to blow up the block
webcamtarantula
Or worse they just indiscriminately bomb the whole country relying on half information at best.
GTimgur
This is not a drone.

What's the difference between an Afghan school and an ISIS compound? I don't know. I just pilot the drone.
gad885
Why use a scalpel when we have all of these hammers?
DankS0uls
The angels had been doing a bit of heavy drinking and were not sure who was evil, so they hedged their bets.
kindacreepy
"suspected terrorist" a.k.a any adult male
laddeao
Correction, any non-white male. White males are "Eh maybe possibly terrorist but let's not jump to conclusions"
StrawberryPrincess92
Whites are never terrorists, they're troubled individuals who needed better health care. What gun crisis? What mass shooting crisis?
Standingranby
Can the drone at least be named Drony McDroneface?
Sokonomi
Acceptable casualties.
BlankhasdiedofDysentery
Only like 1/3 of the block.
StrawberryPrincess92
point of the story is, she ded.
MagnusTheRedCyclops
No, she survived... Then got blown up by a SECOND Reaper drone.
Richardglute
No..she did survive only to go to the market and get blown up by a jihadist
MagnusTheRedCyclops
No, she survived, but her face was completely incinerated by the amount of pure freedom she was exposed too..

Fucking educate yourself ass wipe. Buildings aren't taken out in whole blocks, that's the SUV sized car bombs.

That man is the Reaper
punchlineguy
And that's how America saves lives by taking 4 for 7 billion
JustAGamerDreamin
But if she and her family real were good, I'm sure the angels made sure their souls were saved.
StrawberryPrincess92
Yeah, but the little girl was a virgin, so I don't think she's going to have much fun in heaven
Unwarantedinfoman
That's not how ROE's work at all. We have so many checks for collateral damage it's insane.
HamboneHFY
This. Ignorant fucks are gonna be ignorant fucks, though.
Unwarantedinfoman
Way too many ignorant fucks in this country
HamboneHFY
I've seen people who seriously think that when there are unintended casualties, all that happens is some spreadsheet gets updated. (1/2)
HamboneHFY
They don't want to hear about guilt, pain, courts marshal, inquests, ruined careers and suicides. They want villains they can spit on.
Shadowsword5
Well there's no such thing as a reaper drone. so read a book.
StrawberryPrincess92
General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Atomics_MQ-9_Reaper
Mediocrotus
General Atomics makes the MQ-9 Reaper. It is a drone......
Shadowsword5
Oh so this is fallout now? Real mature guy
MrSniffles
Except they're called RPA's not drones and they don't carry weapons to level a block.
StrawberryPrincess92
They fit the definition of a drone, and while not officially stated, the general Atomics Reaper IS nuclear capable based on payloads
MrSniffles
Webster's yes, technically and officially no. Drone insinuates it has no pilot, which is of course untrue. In that case so is a Cessna 172!
StrawberryPrincess92
a Drone is any remote controlled vehicle with a camera on it.
MrSniffles
Basically, you made a brutal accusation. If you're going to say stuff like that, you need to know what you're talking about to the detail.
MrSniffles
Militarily a drone is used for target practice. Typically a retrofitted outdated fighter, such as an old F-16.
MrSniffles
Per the dictionary. However, the military, engineers, and operators classify it as a Remotely Piloted Aircraft.
