Is remote warfare truly more ethical than face-to-face combat?
Military drones have changed modern warfare, but I think we're too quick to accept them as a moral solution to reducing casualties. When a pilot sits thousands of miles away and watches a screen, the psychological barrier to killing becomes thinner, and that can lead to more frequent strikes. I've read reports showing drone strikes often rely on faulty intelligence, causing civilian deaths that aren't counted in official numbers. So, can we honestly say that remote warfare is more ethical than sending soldiers to fight face-to-face, or are we just hiding the true cost of conflict?
