ugggg. So hard to listen to such callous talk.
There is a female combat pilot that seems so heartless.
my senator Al Franken was on the committee so heard from many of us on how we feel of the drone killings.
There is one young Yemeni man who speaks for the civilians and how there is blowback and how much easier it would be to have a suspect terrorist arrested than to fire missles on a village killing dozens of children and others.
The is also many questions of the legality of the use of drones, or enemy combatants. etc.
