Come on! Like any Documentary, the producer is SELLING an idea. The one you find 1st here is that Drone pilots are ID'ing "friend or foe" targets from the air then firing on them. Simply not true. Unless there is a positive in ground sight of friend or foe, no 'go' air strike is given. Are there civilian casualties? Yes! That's war. Ask a soldier on the ground if he thinks the air cover is a bad thing. Sorry, anyone in a combat role has situations tgey will remember and some form of PTSD. I guarantee that trooper being shot at has more than the dweb in a guarded building and compound flying a video program of a drone. The 'sells here is nieve. But of course that is who these videos target.
They joined the military to do what? Have tea parties? The job of the military is to kill people. They are complaining about having to do their job! The verdict should be for them to join the ranks of the ground soldier and do the job 'on foot'. The foot soldier does not decide who the enemy is. That has always been the job of those 'co-ordinating' in the bunkers. It's clear that the Media is winding up to blame the 'atrocities of war' on the soldier (again). Maybe, if the Taliban had a functional brain, they wouldn't have killed 2977 INNOCENT men, women, and children - more than 'The Day That Will Live in Infamy' (which the Media has nearly suppressed out of existence). Wars are always fought by the young, duh. I was 19 my first (of 4) yr. in Viet Nam. If you survive, then you get to be the one in the bunker sending the younger one's out. The drone pilots are probably feeling guilt because they are safe in 'the bunker' while their peers are getting killed in the field. Wars are not meant to be video games. You kill real people (to prevent more 9-11's). And you live with that the rest of your life. If you don't want war then pay attention to what politicians are doing in foreign countries.
