Afghanistan vet who killed indiscriminately praying for innocent Afghans

Well this is awkward.

Filed · 0500

FORT CAMPBELL — An Army chief warrant officer urged his social media followers to pray for the innocent Afghan people on Friday several years after the Apache attack helicopter pilot indiscriminately killed many of them on multiple deployments.

“Even the special ops dudes can’t compete with my numbers,” Army Chief Warrant Officer 3 David Lee told his colleagues as recently as last winter. “Were some of them farmers? Yeah, probably. But, you know, whatever.” 

Lee, who deployed to Afghanistan twice with the 101st Airborne Division out of Fort Campbell, reportedly loved his time in the country because of the work he did.
