Drone pilots are not disengaged from the psychological and moral trauma of war. > Some say that the drone war has driven them over the edge. "How many women and children have you seen incinerated by a Hellfire missile? How many men have you seen crawl across a field, trying to make it to the nearest compound for help while bleeding out from severed legs?"

I was in so much pain I was ready to eat a bullet myself." https://www.salon.com/2015/03/06/a_chilling_new_post_traumatic_stress_disorder_why_drone_pilots_are_quitting_in_record_numbers_partner/ https://www.salon.com/2015/03/06/a_chilling_new_post_traumat...
