Is it photographic evidence that has been loosed publicly of only one unit, or are all public releases being blamed on one unit, only? Perhaps some folks in government have at least brought up the problem of it being illegal for the U.S.A. to provide aid when an occupying nation uses it it to harm folks in occupied territories.
A Summery of last year's National Defense Authorization Act for 2024

*Some* of the actual 2024 bill passed last year by the Senate.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/2226
"This bill authorizes FY2024 appropriations and sets forth policies for Department of Defense (DOD) programs and activities, military construction, the national security programs of the Department of Energy (DOE), and the Maritime Administration, as well as the Department of State and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). It also authorizes appropriations for the Defense Nuclear Safety Board and the Naval Petroleum Reserves, and sets policy for several other agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The bill authorizes appropriations, but it does not provide budget authority, which is provided by appropriations legislation."
One needs to read NDAA from past years/decades to find specifics about conditions for foreign aid. The complete published bills are very lengthy and in small print. Reading them is a labor of love, - even to search for specific passages.
Made me realize, in the past, that if everyone reads the entire bills of everything that is enacted prior to voting, instead of the summaries staff prepares, then they are earning their incomes.
Have also wondered if they have access to the classified parts of the bill, or does only the committee putting it together have access. Or. . . are unitemized unidentified funds included in the total that are itemized for "black ops".
