'I Count The Bodies And Watch The Funerals' — A Drone Pilot Speaks Out

http://www.businessinsider.com/a-drone-bomber-pilot-speaks-out-for-...
The drone pilots are now civilians, but most were former Air Force pilots who took offense at the notion they were armchair warriors so far removed from their mission that they felt nothing at all about the death and destruction they caused.

Klaidman says the lead pilot blew up on Koh and said:

“I used to fly my own air missions. I dropped bombs, hit my target load, but had no idea who I hit. Here I can look at their faces. I watch them for hours, see these guys playing with their kids and wives. When I get them alone, I have no compunction about blowing them to bits. But I wouldn’t touch them with civilians around. After the strike, I see the bodies being carried out of the house. I see the women weeping and in positions of mourning. That’s not PlayStation; that’s real. My job is to watch after the strike too. I count the bodies and watch the funerals. I don’t let others clean up the mess.” http://www.businessinsider.com/a-drone-bomber-pilot-speaks-out-for-...

(TLS-) Funny I was under the impression killing people you never met via remote control from the other side of the planet because someone told you to was psychotic behavior and murder. To do it repeatedly is insanity and makes him a serial-killer. Imagine what the conversation is like when he comes home assuming he has a wife...

"HI honey how was your day?"

--"you know the usual, I watched this guy Muhammad for hours playing with his kids, living his life. All the while oblivious that I had my finger on the button that was going to take his life and destroy his family."

"another one of those Taliban men?"

--"yea I guess so, I don't really have any idea who I'm killing they just hand me a folder with a mans picture in it, a location and normal mission specs. I just follow orders, well ... I guess they're not orders anymore just a task I have to complete so I can get paid. I kinda feel like a hit man for freedom you know."

"no honey you know better than that, you are protecting America. Those evil men on the other side of the planet living in near primitive conditions are savage and given the chance and some means to get hear would kill someone or how ever many people the clip's in their rusty old soviet AK's would allow. It would destroy America if you didn't kill those men!"

After (TLS-) is what I personally wrote, those quotes are in jest illustrating the insanity of this shit.

"I kinda feel like a hit man for freedom you know." - the fact that someone can utter that phrase, and not see that it is wrong, speaks volumes.
