The moral question is if you've unknowingly contributed to war, death and destruction, or if you are actually helping drones to accurately find real targets – which hopefully are not innocent civilians but legitimate military targets.

At this point is there really a difference between death and destruction and "legitimate" military target? It's a slippery slope

  • It is a slippery slope. I'm just hoping that a more surgical drone strike against a weapons factory will create less victims than the blunt force of a ballistic missile aimed "in the general direction of".

    In a way, technology could enable one party to "outwit" their opponent by taking away the means to wage war without causing random loss of life.
