> else: why are they using them? Because, surprisingly, most people seem to prefer killing people in a manner that is more like a video game, safely at home, over actually going halfway across the world, to an actual war zone, where they actually are confronted with the destruction and havoc they wreak. That's some really heavy shit to expect from most people. And then they come back with all sorts of psychological trauma from the terrible things they've done and witnessed, getting those people the help and support to heal their mental wounds to live a relatively PTSD-free life isn't cheap either (as you mentioned in your fourth point). And fortunately, because for the USA war is an export-only product, you have this option. Sure there's economical factors, but I would not underestimate just how much nicer it is not having to actually go there and breathe the same air as the herds they're ordered to thin, or think about. Think of it as a Roomba, but for the desert.
