Do you believe nobody ever begged for their life during WW2? If this is your first time being able to understand the horror of war, you simply lacked imagination, or worse, chose to remain ignorant and not notice the horrors wrought in past wars.
Or do you somehow believe that getting exploded by a 155mm Howitzer, or skewered on a pike, or swiss cheesed by a 50cal, or drowning with 150 of your friends in a sinking ship, or dying in agony from disease in a cramped room with hundreds of others that smells of death and rot, or being eaten by sharks in the pacific, or evaporating in a ball of plasma and radiation, or roasted alive in a pill box by sticky gasoline from a flamethrower, or being trampled by a horse, or suffocating under a mixture of mud and your best friend's blood, or or or or.... is more dignified or less horrifying than a flying land mine?
See Brandon F show an example of the raw brutality of linear warfare, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hP3SeJIVFk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hP3SeJIVFk
There is nothing "cruel or unusual" about drones. Nothing at all. This is what war has always been.
Do you think people were being hyperbolic when they explained "war is hell"? Do you think soldiers with PTSD were just sissies and overreacting?
Did you think war was Glorious? Or Just? Or Noble? Or virtuous in literally any way?
