Pentagon unable to dispute civilian casualties, defends drone strike on 'imminent threat'

Retired U.S. Army General Don Bolduc joins'The Next Revolution' to discuss the chaotic scene in Afghanistan The Pentagon on Monday did not dispute that civilian casualties might have resulted from Sunday's U.S. drone strike on ISIS-K suicide bombers before they could attack the ongoing military evacuation at Kabul's airport, saying the strike was to protect against a "very imminent threat." The Taliban claimed that the airstrike killed at least 10 people, including civilians and three children. When asked about potential civilian casualties Monday, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said the military is "not in a position to dispute it right now," but noted that they are "assessing" and "investigating." "Make no mistake, no military on the face of the earth works harder to avoid civilian casualties than the United States military, and nobody wants to see innocent life taken," Kirby explained. "We take it very, very seriously."
