'Did We Just Kill A Kid?' — Six Words That Ended A US Drone Pilot's Career Read more

The New Mexico desert gets blistering hot, but inside the small windowless container where Brandon Bryant worked as a drone operator for the U.S. Air Force it stays a cool 63 degrees all year long.
Nicola Abé at der Spiegel spoke with Bryant, no longer in the Air Force, who relays a disturbing and tragic scene from his time inside that isolated container in the American desert.
Sixty-three finger numbing degrees and Bryant describes sitting with a group of other pilots looking at more than a dozen computer monitors. The crew are directing drones over Afghanistan 6,250 miles away and the screens jump with a two to five second delay, as infrared video sent from the UAVs whips through the air to New Mexico.

You are totally without any class. I always thought you where just a shallow, self centered, ignoramus. That comment shows you to be amoral. You just don't get it, do you? You have no idea of any social contact between humans, you are completely unable to feel any empathy.

Colateral Damage? War is about killing. Lancaster Bomber, suicide bomber, drone missile, dead is dead.

It's a shame your parents weren't and then we would not have to put up with shit heads like you in this world. Or better still, your dad being just like you, a wanker, and you not being conceived.

Will support victims of rape having to have the kids forced upon them, but also supports kids getting killed by guns that are legally owned, whilst at school.

"Bryant describes the incredible toll taken on U.S. troops required to obey orders producing such dire results."

Only in America is a state sponsored mass murderer turned into the victim.

That's exactly what it is, "rocket science". As the devices used to kill are are rockets?

Maybe for the philosophy sub forum?

Is there any difference between drone missiles and suicide bombers? Each and an explosives delivery device used by dogmatic regimes?.
