On the international stage, when blaming other countries for practices which run counter to humanitarianism, the US will not relent. Worse still, in a bid to effectively attack its rivals, the US has even fabricated various lies on human rights or humanitarianism. But when encountering its own issues in this regard, it tries to play it down. This shows that its image of upholding global morality and justice which the US has propagated is trumped up, going against its true colors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The US military\u2019s attempts to downplay its overseas crime by its troops also demonstrate its contempt for the lives of other countries. Civilians have been killed by US forces in almost all wars waged by the US, ranging from the Vietnam War to battles against the Islamic State in Syria. The US\u2019 tolerance in dealing with such crimes can partly explain why such practices have repeatedly happened.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Furthermore, even though the US military has been creating its image as well-trained, it has been witnessed that the US military has lax discipline and poor management. Another report by [the <\/span><i><span>New York Times<\/span><\/i><span>] cited military officials who said that a top secret American strike on a cell killed civilians in their operations against the Islamic State in Syria. The report quoted sources as saying that in 2017 the operators showed few signs that there were military. They used first names and no rank or uniforms, and many had bushy beards and went to work in shorts.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>The <\/span><i><span>Global Times <\/span><\/i><span>said the Biden administration\u2019s failure to punish anyone for the Kabul strike \u201creveals there is no introspection within the U.S. military\u201d and leads American troops to think \u201cif they commit similar crimes once again, they will escape punishment as well.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe U.S. exploits its state power and forcibly intervenes in other countries, including attempting to overturn their governments and shake their social stability, waging wars, and threatening the safety of unarmed civilians. All of these can be considered state terrorism,\u201d railed Zhang Tengjun of the China Institute for International Studies.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18041386\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" readability=\"36\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.breitbart.com\/media\/2021\/09\/GettyImages-1235337582.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-18041386\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/GettyImages-1235337582-1024x682-1.jpg\" alt width=\"990\" height=\"659\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>A relative of Ezmarai Ahmadi, stands near a portion of Ahmadi\u2019s house that was damaged in a US drone strike in the Kwaja Burga neighbourhood of Kabul on September 18, 2021.
