No, I definitely agree there. Just wondering to myself if it doesn’t come from a crazy ‘all war is bad, all military is bad’ ideology, rather than a sociopathic ‘Americans must die like dogs’ ideology.

Her own words: SlayStation By Cindy Sheehan

Don’t get me wrong, I am not in favor of “Manned Aircraft Systems”
raining down bombs on civilians, but the idea of Murder by Joystick with the “Unmanned Aircraft Systems” (UAS,) is especially sickening to me.

UAS, more commonly known as “drones,” are controlled from thousands of miles away and are increasingly becoming the new wave of the Air Force. The Air Force was recently devastated by Congress cutting off funding for the obsolete F22 fighter jet and is very excited about its robotic killers.

Even the names of drones are monstrous, such as: Predator and Reaper-The Grim Reaper drone-choosing who lives or who dies from an air conditioned bunker at Creech Air Force base thousands of miles away from the bombing site:

Thousands of miles away from the carnage;

Thousands of miles away from the screaming and dying;

Light years away from morality and compassion.

With reports stating that, from the top down, the US military is filled with Christian zealots, I wonder who “authorizes” Murder by Joystick? Does the 6th Commandment say: “Thou shalt not murder; unless you can pretend you’re playing a video game?” The mass murder of the 21st century couldn’t have been even remotely conceived of a few millennia ago.

War has become more deadly to persons but increasingly more depersonalized. Today, needless civilian deaths outweigh unnecessary military deaths by a 5 to 1 ratio, but are still referred to as: “Collateral damage.” Our military has become even further depersonalized by the utilization of paid mercenaries.

She then rambles on about violent video games and concludes the robot overlords will rain down a nuclear apocalypse in 2047.
