Ex Drone Pilot turns Whistleblower

[kalibex]

Guilt-ridden American drone pilots continue to quit in unprecedented numbers. One former secret mission operator, Brandon Bryant, who’s received a whistleblower award, spoke to RT of the horrors of indiscriminate killing from a safe distance.

“The people that are giving the order to kill – they don’t care who gets killed as long as their target gets attacked… they’ll take out however many people they can in order to get their results,” Bryant says.

The former pilot received the German Whistleblower Award for revealing details of operations taking place at the Ramstein base, specifically, its role in transferring information between the US and its CIA missions in North Africa, Afghanistan and the Middle East. He was among the first to bring into question the role the base was playing.

I'm sorry I can't remember to whom I was listening on YouTube recently, someone who claimed to be in contact with whistleblowers among the drone pilots and knew how closely they are watched by handlers. There was a claim of a deliberate scheme to weed out the pilots who "couldn't handle it" so that there would be no issue getting what was desired from the drone program. Naturally, this aim to identify soldiers free of empathy was said to tie in to larger goals, as there was always need for soldiers who would carry out violent tasks that would be questioned those of ordinary empathetic capacity.
