Talking to my friend, a military expert, I learned that fighters with real pilots will be rare in the future. That most air battles will be fought with drones. \u00a0So instead of \u201cthe best pilots\u201d, in the future what the air force will need, is amazing video game players to guide drones. Indeed use of drones is already common in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq. \u00a0Now what surprised me was to find out that drone operators are suffering from more war stress syndrome than real pilots, a lot of it is from the thought of killing innocent people. \u00a0As bad as it sounds I think this is good news. \u00a0It shows humanity in them. \u00a0I think that pilots are stressed enough but when they kill they are also at risk, so maybe they have less remorse. Pilots are like toreros, they have the upper hand, but they can also die. \u00a0Drone operators are like toreros outside the arena. \u00a0They just zap the bull.<\/p>\n
Personally I don’t share other people’s fascination with high tech war. I know there are bad people out there, Osama Bin Laden<\/a> and others who want us dead and if they could they would nuke us. \u00a0But I also know that in the last 10 years we have lost the moral high ground that we had after 9-11, we have committed a lot of atrocities<\/a>, and if anything there are more terrorists now than there were 10 years ago. \u00a0And as excited as some people may be with drones I think they make us in USA and EU look like terrorists. Moreover we armed Osama with Sting missiles and we suffer for it. These drones will sooner or later be used by Hamas<\/a>, Hezbollah<\/a>, and war will escalate much further.<\/p>\nRelated articles<\/h6>\n
