saw a show about the drone operators
a lot of them live in vegas, work normal 8 hour shifts, go shopping, do some bowling, go see a movie, commute to creech air force base where they sit their fat arse in front of a screen and pilot a drone on the other side of the world, incinerating targets like this poor blokes and his kids, then maybe get a doughnut on the way home from krispy creme.
amazing they somehow failed to win over the afghani populace, ay?

Not dissimilar
but at work in the early 2010s, I happened to overhear a USAF officer discussing the difficulty that the B2 crews were having flying Afghan combat missions out of Whiteman AFB in the US, dropping bombs and missiles half a world away then going back home to their families.
To which my internal reaction was: "Good".

Terrorists
Suicide vest in a packed marketplace or a hellfire missile gatecrashing a wedding. Both are acts of terrorism.
