killing people via drone ,distances soldiers from whom they kill and if they feel like it's a video game I guess the thinking in the perverse mind of the military would lead to less PTSD,and less costs at the VA...Less homeless or injured veterans means more workers after discharge to exploit. killing by remote control,it makes fighting a war almost cowardly and human life of others cheap.
