Dunking on r/neoliberal.

Not a low hanging fruit, but a root vegetable.

Still, comments on this relatively divided. Of course, some quite abysmal takes in there about how a prospective dem president should basically lie to the electorate and increase military spending after the campaign without saying so on the trail.

Basically, fuck democracy, we need the war machine rolling for ... (the purpose is unclear)

Link since the comments are the "juicy" part

I think, at the time, the idea was how someone in an air-conditioned room thousands of miles away was carrying out killing strikes. It was a further removal from humanity. Not that having a pilot inside would have made a difference. To them everyone would look like ants, its not like they ever looked in the face of anyone they were shooting. If I remember right there was some controversy over a helicopter pilot gunning down civilians during W's Iraq War, so kind of a moot point aside fromt the fact that the person in the room isn't themselves at risk.
