When asked in an interview how drone operators would know if the people being blown to smithereens were actually carrying drugs, he replied: “Same way a police officer would know … Same way somebody operating in Iraq would know. You know, these people in Iraq at the time, they all looked the same. You didn’t know who had a bomb strapped to them. So those guys have to make judgments.”

Holy F, as a mexican that crosses the border often for vacations... this is extreme and scary

Yeah, that sounds like the old "Kill them all and let God sort them out" approach.

Funnily enough, if you suggest to do the same to people who advocate this approach to let God decide if the approach is good, they're a lot less enthusiastic

It doesn't make any sense. In heaven, all the good people will have everything they've ever wanted forever.

But when I offer to send everyone to heaven all at the same time, they treat me like I'm a bad guy.

It just doesn't make any sense
