Pentagon: 2015 Strike On Afghan Hospital ‘Not A War Crime’

[Tactical Peek]

15. Ok, it's an "Oops".

But it's "Oops, we committed a war crime."

This link is to the Pentagon press conference today.

Some of the reporters ask good questions, and the CENTCOM commander lacks good answers, imo.

Investigation of U.S. Airstrike on Afghan Hospital General Joseph Votel briefed reporters and responded to questions on an investigation into the October 3, 2015, U.S. airstrike on a Doctors Without Borders hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan.?The attack killed 42 people, many of them medical workers and Afghan civilians.?16 service members were disciplined for mistakes that led to the strike, but none faced criminal charges.

Now it's time for a full and independent investigation, including looking into the particulars of this initial investigation. Notice the reporters point out inconsistencies between the initial command statements and this report, such as whether the attack stopped when the attackers were told they were firing on a hospital or had already stopped when they were notified. Lots to straighten out with an outside investigation.
