This could become a very consequential phase in US foreign/wars policy with far reaching implications for future freedom spread initiatives and national debt that will be passed on to future generations.
Pentagon says it will pay Afghan families after deadly drone attack
U.S. plans to make condolence payments to families of Afghans killed in mistaken drone strike

The United States has pledged to make undisclosed “ex gratia condolence payments” to the families of 10 Afghan civilians — including seven children — who were killed in a mistaken drone strike in August, as American troops were exiting the country, the Pentagon said in a statement late Friday.
The statement follows a meeting Thursday between U.S. officials and the head of a California-based charity that employed Zamarai Ahmadi, the Afghan man targeted and killed in the drone strike on Aug. 29.
Ahmadi, a father of four, was an aid worker with the U.S. nonprofit organization, which was working to alleviate malnutrition in Afghanistan. He had just returned home to his family compound in a neighborhood west of Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport when a Hellfire missile strike was conducted.
