I must admit that: A whole generation has grown up "killing" people on screens in violent games, from small children to real soldiers and airmen. American's leaders have done it: presidents, generals, statesmen, politicians. Are the drones the predictable outcome of a way of seeing and dealing with the world? Does violence beget violence? Can they stop the madness?
All that matters is

    It has been estimated that by 2020, the United States will have spent at bare minimum, $39.6 billion on drones. Most people have been plagued by the mindset that because it is only a fraction of air and ground weaponry, much less anyway, America is definitely making progress. “Drones are an excellent refinement……They’re a marked departure from the 20th century game of delivering destruction on a wide scale: whereas a bomber-wing nuclear-submarine or aircraft-carrier battle group costs billions, puts hundreds of…

    Drone Warfare, enacted by George Bush and expanded on by President Obama to provide a haven for Americans against the terrorist group, al-Qaeda. The use of weaponized unmanned surveillance drones allowed for far better independent targeting decisions, rather than retrieving intelligence from sources within the real country where the warfare would take place. These strategic implications created a question among Americans, is the use of drones to target individuals right? This question has arisen due to a high number of civilian casualties, making it seem inhumane to do. However, Kenneth Anderson provides readers a strong argument as to why drone warfare is strategically effective in his article, “The Case for Drones” with his organization pattern,…

    When we're using drones, we're putting a meaningless drone's life at risk rather than a soldier's. Drones are just helpful technology that have no psychology connections to the world. Meanwhile, soldiers are humans with bonds to friends and family. A soldier dying and losing his connection to the world would have much more of an impact than a technological tool. If a drone were to get shot while entering a country to spy, we would just find a new drone. But if a soldier were to do the same, there would be a massive impact to the people the soldier had interacted with. Meaning drones are irrelevant to the…

    Drone Strikes are popular tools of all countries, especially the United States, seeking to neutralize suspected terrorists. Even though the American public is divided on the issue and the Pakistani public, where U.S. drones have been used the most, is sternly against the use of drones, they remain the weapon of choice for our military. This started with the Bush Administration in the early 2000s, the U.S. government has attacked hundreds of targets in northwestern Pakistan alone. Regardless of the moral or ethical questions, drone strikes…

    The American society in which we grew up is one that prides itself on the advancements we continuously make in the technological field. Though there is some value in the use of devices to aid our lazy American culture, the sacrifices of opening our skies to the new drone age greatly outweighs the benefits of making life easier than it already is. While many companies shift to now offer drone delivery right to our doorsteps, the administrators in charge are not paying attention to the laundry list of determinants that can result from our growing reliance and dependence on something which stands as a want as opposed to a necessity. Drones should not be regarded as the top technological success…

    Plaw states that one point in favor of drones is that they are weakening Al Qaeda, the taliban and affiliated groups. Also, they have a primary responsibility for protecting their own civilians. “Second, I doubt that ending drone strikes would substantially reduce anti-Americanism in the Islamic world or put a dent in radical recruitment.” However, that might be true, but they are still costing the lives of innocent civilians of those lives being women and children. Plaw says that to avoid these casualties drones can be sent out with a clearer justification of what it is going to do. He also explains that the drones are a lot less harmful to civilians then they are to Al Qaeda affiliates. The civilian casualties can be minimized therefore drones aren’t as dangerous as some…

    Drones are not expensive to make and are very effective. Drone attacks have saved people’s lives. The traditional way of war is very dangerous. Men have to be physically out on the battlefield, fighting, not knowing if they are going to make it out alive. Yes guns, tanks, bombs, and many more weapons are being used, but they would not know if they had hit their target or not. Also, more damage is made to people’s…

    Since the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 and various other terrorist threats, the United States has used unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), or drones, to eliminate terrorists or potential terrorists. The US should continue using and developing drones as combat weapons because they have less collateral damage than impractical alternatives, keep our own troops safe, and aide military generals with photography and mapping of foreign countries. Moreover, because UAV's cannot guarantee the safety of the innocent bystanders, drones obtain the reputation of creating more terrorists than they tend to eliminate and not only do drone strikes violate the sovereignty in other countries, they also violate the rights of basic human rights. Consequently, drones may be perceived differently in the eyes of Americans and Pakistanis.…

    War is a conflict between two or more group of people, starting from someone’s pain cultivated and shared to others. Releasing it would be destruction, thus, resulting to a war. With these, we can conclude that it started from immorality. In war, we cannot avoid disorder, human casualties, and a lot of disturbances; there would be noises, screams, loud cries and shouts of pain. There would not be a fair fight when drones are used. There is a man controlling the drones far away from the battle grounds with his life at less risk while his…
