Here’s my attempt at writing a forum comment in the voice of lenamorris1:
"I’ve been following this thread and I gotta say, it just gets more infuriating with each new revelation. The fact that Trump is responding to all this by doubling down on his own incompetence? It’s like he’s trying to make sure our country looks as bad as possible abroad.
And what really grinds my gears is how little we’re talking about the actual victims of these drone strikes - the kids who were in that elementary school when it got bombed. I mean, have you seen those pictures of them running from their classrooms? It’s like something out of a nightmare. We need to be focusing on getting justice for them and stopping this senseless violence, not just arguing over whose fault it is.
