The troll approved the ground raid in Yemen without proper intelligence (in either sense of the word). Not a great surprise that it was a military failure as well as killing many civilians.

The troll's mouthpiece: we must all call the raid a success because one of the raiders died.

This attempt to manipulate people through their patriotism to supporting unjust wars is nothing new. Dubya called on Americans to support the occupation of Iraq because it was done by the US Army. My response to this was to say that he had hijacked the US Army and it was now the Bush forces. It was used during the Vietnam War, so people posted bumber stickers saying, "Support our troops in Vietnam — bring them home."

But the troll is taking it to an extreme that is almost risible.
