1. 'precise, deliberate force'
like killing anyone within 100 yards of an empty Bradley fighting vehicle, in 3 attacks.

It's these Orwellian press releases that really make me sick.

2. "Precise" means they hit near the Bradley.
As opposed to some building a couple blocks over.
You gotta learn the jargon with this aerial bombing shit.
"Precision" is used the same way. "Precision bombing" means
most of the bombs hit near where they were intended to hit,
as opposed to being randomly littered around the landscape.
