Double Secret Probation for bombers of Doctors Without Borders hospital

Gen. Joseph Campbell, in charge of whitewashing the October US bombing of a Doctors Without Borders hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan that killed 22 doctors and patients and wounded 37 others, provided a Hollywood ending for his investigation. Channeling Gen. Buck Turgison in Stanley Kubrick's 1964 flick 'Dr. Strangelove', Gen. Campbell deadpanned that the bomber pilots appear to have 'exceeded their authority' when they blasted the hospital and its precious inhabitants to bits, then strafed the folks running out the inferno. Also exceeding their authority were the US forces who entered the destroyed hospital, tampering with the war crime scene. Gen. Campbell then channeled Faber College's Dean Wormer, in the 1978 John Landis epic 'Animal House', handing down punishment for the US perpetrators: Double Secret Probation. Come to think of it, Gen. Buck Turgison and Dean Wormer represent the spectrum of America's endless criminal wars in the Middle East: psychosis and imbecility.
