I'm becoming less and less comfortable with these. It's starting to feel like a state actor resorting to terrorism to fight terrorists, especially the parts where a missile attack is being used to draw people out for a second strike. Yes, it killed the target but also taught everyone in the region that the US can and will kill a bunch of innocent people just trying to rescue sick and wounded to achieve its goals.
