Remote wars are inhuman wars. Not that war is humane, but people (soldiers) have empathetic reactions when confronted with the conditions on the ground. Drone wars also have a negative moral impact. Without people witnessing the horror on the ground, no drone is ever going to go back home and protest the injustice. Combine that with the end of conscription and you have a perverse situation in which Nations claim legitimacy, but they rest on armies that are immoral, dishonorable. In the end, it hurts the sense of nation itself.
