you don't know much about hellfires do you?
"Hope does not mean we will halt the firing in Afghanistan of the next Hellfire missile, whose explosive blast sucks the oxygen out of the air and leaves the dead, including children, scattered like limp rag dolls on the ground." - chris hedges, former war correspondent for the new york times

That just demonstrates the ignorance of Hedges. And you for blindly believing everything he days.

Hellfire is an anti-tank missile.

He may have meant a thermobaric bomb but those are two completely different weapons.

your questioning a journalist who spent 20 years in war zones. anyways it doesnt really matter lol. the point is governments have way more money and indeed spend way more money terrorizing people with their military technology around the world than ISIS.

government militaries and government interventions are the biggest terrorist operations in the world and YOUR government is the biggest one!

Hedges may have been referring to the AGM-114n which under the "Variant" section at the link above, the 114n has thermobaric properties.

which according to ricky bobby he should have known if he had been a combat reporter for 25 years. If he had been serious about his craft he would have known the hellfire came out as a tank killer in his early years and evolved over the years as the need changed.

facts often get in the way of a good socialist narrative.

im not and it doesnt matter regardless.

american government's terrorists operations are MORE savage than ISIS head cutting.

with all due respect this is the trouble you get into when you let others do your thinking for you. You then have to moon walk away from the "facts" you presented and desperately try to hang on to the narrative you were trying to support with your "facts"
