And the deaths of health care providers is also acceptable?

DF, one of the things I despised while in the military - and still do - is the easy way so many people have with ‘collateral damage’.

To get rid of bin Laden? Yes, the deaths of those health care providers murdered by the Taliban are acceptable. The terrorist actions bin Laden was planning when he died would have killed more healthcare providers than that. Kirk, I don’t like it but often war comes down to “How many people will this course of action kill and how many will not undertaking it kill?”. That’s how it was with the bin Laden raid.
