Boo-hoo

Apparently we're meant to feel sorry for America's drone murderers now:

Brandon Bryant has helped America to kill 1626 people as a drone operator for the US Air Force. He has watched, from the safety of his desk, his targets "bleed out" thousands of kilometres away.

The carnage he has seen has left him permanently scarred; he has post-traumatic stress disorder and he is haunted by the images of his kills.

[...]

He said he quit the Air Force because the job made him feel like a "sociopath", someone who had "lost respect for life".


That's because he is a sociopath with no respect for life. Its undoubtedly a good thing that he has quit and is no longer murdering people, but I'll be damned if I'm going to feel sorry for him.
