The whole drone initiative is interesting because it removes the human element to killing...at least at the end of the killer--not the kilees. So, it brings up some questions in the case of modern warfare. Then, I think it just brings up more eternal questions: should we kill? if so, who should we kill? and lastly, what happens when we do kill?

I think it even raises more questions on the side of the victims. I mean when you are attacked and you lose a limb/loved one etc. by a drone, you do not know who to blame. When its a soldier doing the killing, then you can blame them specifically or their battalion. But with a drone, when you try and search for meaning after suffering a lost, you would blame the country that sent them, or the whole institution (in this the case the US Army).

You really can't blame the people living in those regions for hating us. To them, we're nothing but cowards that can't face them directly.
