Reuters: At least 40 civilians at wedding party killed during nearby U.S.-backed Afghan army raid
HELMAND, Afghanistan/KABUL (Reuters) - At least 40 civilians attending a wedding party were killed by explosions and gunfire during a raid by U.S.-backed Afghan government forces on a nearby Islamist militant hideout, officials in Helmand province said on Monday.
The raid, days after a U.S. drone strike aimed at militants hiding among farmers killed 32 pine nut harvesters, showed how civilians have borne the brunt of a war that has re-intensified since U.S.-Taliban peace talks collapsed two weeks ago.
Afghan officials said a house being used by the Taliban to train suicide bombers was located adjacent to the bride’s home that came under fire during Sunday night’s commando assault in the Musa Qala area of Helmand in Afghanistan’s south.

What is it with these people and wedding killings? Sure, I get it, the terror delta (the delta between joy/bliss and agony/pain) is largest, but have they no respect for anything? Disgusting souls, all of those who partake.
(Even our lowest, Fred Lapides, the porn smut poster who then tries to take the high road of virtue signaling for Democrats, is better - by a lot - even if he hurts us all, he is still not as bad. Just dumb and easy to manipulate. Perhaps clinically insane. But -not- a bad person)
