Since President Trump entered the White House, U.S. drones and bombers have stepped up strikes on suspected terrorists in Africa and the Middle East, which have also been killing civilians.

Even those who do support such use of force become more likely to oppose the strikes if told that military leaders oppose them. CONT.
