You're right about that.
Ironically, however, drone operators seem to suffer disproportionately from PTSD. Firing missiles at people while sitting in a 9-5 cubicle, and probably tasked with keeping up "KPI's", I imagine, violates any sane person's sense of morality to the core.

It's hard for me to feel that sorry for people who later feel bad after being willing participants in killing people despite what must be their own morals against it. Having said that I don't want anyone to suffer PTSD, but it's much worse for the families on the other end of the war machine.
