The United States government under the Obama administration (like that matters anyway), is on a mission to terrorize the world. They justify killing, because they're not doing the killing themselves. The troops are doing the killing, without questioning orders. They end up terrorizing peaceful people.
What It’s Like to Be Hit By a Drone Strike
"The following account is taken from an important and devastating new report on America's drone program, from law professors at Stanford and NYU. The report, "Living Under Drones: Death, Injury and Trauma to Civilians From US Drone Practices in Pakistan," is a deeply researched condemnation of how American drone strikes are terrorizing a civilian population in the name of national security."The sad thing is, no one can really even agree what the body count is, or if it's actually effective.
Not Even the White House Knows the Drones’ Body Count
"Government officials claim they’re ultra-precise killing machines that never, ever miss their targets. Outside groups say they’re covered in children’s blood. The fact is no one has a clue exactly how many militants and how many innocents have been slain in the U.S. drone war that spans from Pakistan to Somalia. Remember that before you start your next Twitter feud about the drone war."Stop the drones! They're about to be used on us! Well, maybe not with weapons (yet), but definitely to spy on us. Why do police need drones? Can they not do them themselves?
Seattle Police Dept. has permission to operate drones
"The Seattle Police Department is one of 50 organizations that have received permission from the federal government to operat unmanned aerial vehicles -- AKA drones."Drone Use Takes Off on the Home Front
"With little public attention, dozens of universities and law-enforcement agencies have been given approval by federal aviation regulators to use unmanned aircraft known as drones, according to documents obtained via Freedom of Information Act requests by an advocacy group."So, if supporting the troops leads to actions like these, tell me again - why am I supposed to support the troops?
