First world nation, has excellent military technology, uses force.....but they shouldn't be held responsible for their **** ups?

Within reason, sure. But, if you signed up for the military, you literally signed your life away. People dying, even through human error, is sort of expected.

Why are you treating a materialistic, morally bankrupt nation like it's a ****ing person?

What does that even mean? And you're acting like I'm defending a country. I've already stated that I have no particular love for this country. I don't know if you've forgotten that, or just ignored it because it interfered with your self-righteous ranting.
And calling this country morally bankrupt is silly. We're doing nothing that any other nation with half a chance wouldn't do themselves. When one country has strength, it uses it to exploit weaker nations. Pretty? No. Fair? No. Reality? Yes. So implying that this country is somehow particularly bad is silly. We're as self-serving and pragmatic as any other country. You might as well just say that our genes are wrong, or the fluoride in the water is rotting our moral centers away.
