Elmo do you agree that we should bury the real predators and puppet m-asster criminals who are behind that all even more?

Apparently no one on this thread has been in the military. I have been part of "simple" operations and trying to pull these off is miraculous. What you suggest is comical - I guess the US government can only perform conspiracies well.

If he was beaten to death here is what would be said-

We engaged a HVT (high value target) who provided resistance at the time. He was wounded and we attempted to capture him while he continued aggressions at that time he was shot and killed

Make more sense- no they would run him around, divert F16's drop bombs and then sneak him in there. The more involved in a conspiracy the better it goes.

And remember from step one we were trying to kill him we dropped 2 500lb bombs on him!
