Last time around, “smart” bombs and “friendly” fire caused innumerable civilian casualties. Drones are even worse.
If one is required to kill or otherwise endanger the lives of other human beings, those reducing those people to “targets” dehumanizes both the shooter and those shot. Location doesn’t matter. If “terrorists” begin to send drones our way, they would be equally guilty as our military establishment that has so successfully disconnected killing from killers.
Inflicting pain and killing are bad things. Any questions?
