You may have noticed another similar thread; I got a weird error message saying the title was too long and I was not able to edit it. My point:
If you think that America does nothing but good around the world, reflect back for a minute on this U.S. airstrike on a charity-run hospital in Afghanistan on 10-3-15. 42 were killed at the Doctors Without Borders facility. So that's what an arm, an eye and a finger are worth? $3,000? And $6,000 for a life??
"General Joseph Votel expressed "deepest condolences" to those injured and to the families of those killed and said the U.S. government made "gesture of sympathy" payments of $3,000 to each injured person and $6,000 to each family of the killed.
Zabihullah Neyazi, a nurse who lost his left arm, eye and a finger in the Oct. 3, 2015, attack, said administrative punishment for the American service members wasn't enough and said a "trial should be in Afghanistan, in our presence, in the presence of the victims' families, so they would be satisfied."
Pharmacist Khalid Ahmad, 24, said those responsible "are criminals, and they must be jailed." Ahmad still has shrapnel embedded in his waist and cannot move his right leg."

We send drones after Afghan Taliban, while Isis makes incursions into that country. The atrocities that go on in that country happen day after day, you just do not hear about it. There was no justice for Mohammad Wazir Khan when a group of soldiers killed his wife and children, but the official story was that just one wack job (Mr. Bales) did it. It just goes on and on.
