US Air Force Whistleblower on the Ugly Truth Behind US Drone Killings
The United States' targeted drone killing program is notoriously fraught
with controversy. Just a few pointed concerns include the practice of
video game-like killing from afar, the inevitable deaths of
non-combatants and the constitutionality of extra-judicial murder away
from the battlefield with no due process or transparency.
In this
fascinating and at times disturbing TYT Interview, The Young Turks'
Cenk Uygur speaks with former US Air Force drone operator and
whistleblower Brandon Bryant and DRONE filmmaker Tonje Hessen Schei
about the process of becoming a drone operator, what it's like to kill
someone you've never met from thousands of miles away while watching the
event unfold on a screen, the impact of the US drone program on
terrorist recruiting, and much more.
