From car bombs causing high amounts of casualties to guessing what type of explosion went off‚ what someone may think are intense experiences‚ Buzzell describes as casual events happening in his daily life. After reading “Killing Time in Iraq”‚ I argue that Buzzell uses coping mechanisms to minimize the intensity of

arm shake‚ fatigue‚ or any of the other human factors that throw off a rifleman’s aim‚ making each shot more accurate and less likely to hit someone other than the enemy. Pilotless drones are more likely to hit the target with better accuracy than bombs being dropped from a plane at 30‚000 feet (Gyrnir). In the Army 53 percent of their casualties come with first contact with the enemy. Having a robot scouting ahead or flying above sending back pictures of the ground below to troops would reduce

Anne More does not give any compliant about

The gas created from
