This is a really intense article in my opinion. The military may have successfully used unmanned aircraft to cause less pilot deaths but the emotional trauma and PTSD that comes from war and murder is still present... probably more so as they must more intimately know their target before killing them. That and the disparity of killing targets in Afghanistan and Iraq and then stepping out of your trailer back into the heart of America where everyone is just "going about their day." That back and forth routine on a daily basis is even more traumatic then spending 9 months deployed and then coming back to the US.
This is exactly what I thought about John Stewart during his epic debate with Tucker Carlson on Crossfire. It's so very worth watching again even if you've seen it multiple times. It really reminds people that John Stewart and Stephen Colbert really are only "characters" on their show.
