I'm so confused about this US government thing

. I mean, isn't it supposed to protect its citizens? How can they just kill civilians like that and claim it's legal?

It sounds like they're above the law or something.
And what's with these Designated Terrorist Organizations lists? Are they really just any old group of people? It seems so suspicious. Don't they need to be actual terrorists to get on one of those lists?
I'm not sure I understand how this Death on the High Seas Act thing works, but it sounds like a big loophole or something. I mean, if you're going to kill someone, just follow the normal rules, right? Why do they need special laws for that kind of thing?
And the fact that there's been at least 126 civilian deaths... that's just crazy

. How can they justify all this violence and claim it's okay? It doesn't add up.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, this whole situation just seems really fishy

.
