Most of the fighting has been in cities and population centers since Fallujah fell last year. ISIS tends to hide themselves behind women and children, so it&#8217;s only natural that these human shields are going to be casualties.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Airwars said that about 80 civilians were killed per month under Obama and that that figure had risen to 360 under Trump by July.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Read any of the books published recently, like &#8220;Outlaw Platoon&#8221; or Dakota Myer&#8217;s &#8220;Into the Fire&#8221; and you&#8217;ll read how the Obama Administration made avoiding combat for supporting fire units a matter of national policy, putting our own forces at risk, costing American lives, so the Nobel Prize winner could salvage his legacy.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">FACT: President Obama has a plan to end the war in Afghanistan in 2014\u2014Mitt Romney does not.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Barack Obama (@BarackObama) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BarackObama\/status\/260420432778379265\">October 22, 2012<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">President Obama: &quot;By the end of next year, our war in Afghanistan will be over.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Barack Obama (@BarackObama) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BarackObama\/status\/301525664178245632\">February 13, 2013<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to Newsweek, during the 27 months that Obama was president in the war against ISIS, &hellip; <a title=\"Newsweek: Trump kills more civilians than Obama in ISIS war\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=74149\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Newsweek: Trump kills more civilians than Obama in ISIS war<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-74149","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74149","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=74149"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74149\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=74149"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=74149"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=74149"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
