What is the difference between the collateral damage caused
by a landmine and that of an unmanned armed drone aircraft? Is there a moral
difference between the use of one and the other? One is place there and
virtually forgotten. The other is controlled by a technician, isolated and out
of harm’s way, thousands of miles away. If this not the end product of all
those video games we have placated our kids with throughout their formative
years? Kill and be killed, only to resurrect and do it all again … and again.
Antiseptic, conscienceless … clean assuming that there was a conscience there
to begin with. Or is the conscience grown, developed … matured? And has our
collective conscience not been sacrificed, the collateral damage of our lusts
for higher technology and convenience?
