How Stuff Works, Surgical Strike Dept. 0
Der Spiegel parses NATO’s kill list. A snippet (much more indescriminate death and destruction at the link):
The operations center identified “Doody” at 10:17 a.m. But visibility is poor and the helicopter is forced to circle another time. Then the gunner fires a “Hellfire” missile. But he has lost sight of the mullah during the maneuver, and the missile strikes a man and his child instead. The boy is killed instantly and the father is severely wounded. When the pilot realizes that the wrong man has been targeted, he fires 100 rounds at “Doody” with his 30-mm gun, critically injuring the mullah.
“Surgical strike” is a myth perpetuated by those who monger war and would have you believe that life is a video game.
In real life, there is no such thing.
