Systemic issues in airstrike processes cause civilian deaths

Season 2021 Episode 348 | 8m 24s

The drone killed 10 civilians — including 7 children — leading to growing questions over how the U.S. military prevents and reports civilian casualties. The Pentagon said Monday it will change procedures, but would not discipline any troops for the strike in Kabul. Nick Schifrin explains.
