Exactly why they voted how they did
I don't think most Trump voters would've objected to a drone strike that killed Anwar Al Awlaki along with his teenage son and a few other people, who used social media to rally and recruit Al Queda terrorists as a "spokesperson" for AQAP while hiding in Yemen. He was an American moderate Islamic imam who originally advocated that radical Muslims were dangerous and needed to be controlled, but gradually turned to the other side when the focus of the war on terrorism left Osama Bin Laden and his followers and turned to Iraq and the killing and displacement of hundreds of thousands of innocent muslims.
Obama adopted the war strategy of the Bush administration's military intelligence experts, taking out Islamic terrorist leaders that emerged using drones instead of boots on the ground. Obama authorized thousands of such strikes, while Bush did about a hundred.
Critics say bad intelligence, where local tribe members use the US military to settle scores for example, and off-target strikes has killed many hundreds of supposedly innocent people thereby increasing the number of terrorists rather than diminishing the threat.
