      Its not the money. It was born out of soldiers being blown to bits by terrorist bombs. Asymmetric warfare. You may have a short memory but the original missiles were a result of WW2 and tech to deliver bombs. Then terrorists launched extreme asymmetric warfare during the 80's and 90's followed by 9/11. From that damage, destruction, and death came the reaction of sending our soldiers to war who were blown to bits too and then ...drones to counter that. So born out of saving United States soldiers but then going a little haywire and haphazard all around the world.
      What we should have done is sat down with the Taliban and any groups and try to provide peace negotiations and markets for their good products. We would have saved trillions of dollars. This is where your view of the money is right. Once big money starts supporting expensive operations you have gotten into an expensive quagmire. But its not explaining how drone warfare started imo.

    Funny how this reminds me of that scene in the second Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy movie, where the heroes are fleeing in their spaceship from a swarm of drones controlled remotely by a bunch of teens of a golden-skinned "superior" race. The self-projection of Hollywood film-makers is paramount, with one side literally at risk of losing their lives, whereas the others are essentially playing a video game. It almost feels as if the movie wanted to show what a cowardly act that is, but it is exactly what the US has been doing on a regular basis for over a decade now, with all signs pointing at an escalation of this horrendous practice in the foreseeable future.

    People in the comments are missing the point and the power of a former intelligence analyst apologizing for his role, showing deep regret for his involvement, and speaking out against the actions committed by the US military from a first hand perspective. They seem to have forgotten the political climate after 9/11 and the intense propaganda that was pushed on teens and young adults, depicting soldiers as heroes fighting for our freedoms. Yes, many of us saw through it, but for every person that didn't someone actively speaking out will help deter people from making those same choices and wake people up to reality.
    We need to shatter the illusion of the Military as the good guys and freedom fighters. We need to make it clear that US imperialism is wrong and only helps the wealthy elite. Former military and contractors who recognize their complicity and experience shame and PTSD can be some of our strongest allies in the fight against imperialism because they can personally testify to counter the pro-war, pro-military, anti-islamic propaganda we are fed by our government and media.
    He will have to live with his involvement for the rest of his life, and it does weigh on him deeply. Your shaming may make you feel good temporarily but I can assure you that you're not saying something that he hasn't said to himself countless times over the last decade+ since he left. People who truly experience shame and regret are always their own toughest critics. We should be focusing our energy on how to prevent this from happening and working with veterans who will expose the system for all it's brutality, destruction, and corruption. Who better to do that than someone with first hand knowledge of how it all works?
    You don't have to forgive him but you also don't have to use him as a punching bag when there are still so many folks actively participating in and supporting imperialism and war while he's actively fighting against it. Just some food for thought.

    This is not a matter of policy but a matter of morality. No policy stands right when killing is the result. Christopher Aaron comes to this matter too late and that it took him this long to realize how wrong his involvement in this criminal affair was also reflects on the massive ignorance in most of his countrymen and women. Lest there be an inkling of doubt to this response, I adamantly disagree with the Taliban policies and practices. However, I also acknowledge that the U.S. and all her western allies that participated in the debacle in Afghanistan have no say in how the country should be governed. When the U.S. and her NATO allies had maximum forces in Afghanistan they did not sue for peace or tried to negotiate a political solution. Instead they went on an orgy of killing, maiming and destroying. More than 170,000 paid with their lives as a result of this invasion. The Taliban are a part of Afghanistan whether the west likes it or not. The aliens in this scenario are those that traveled thousands of miles to drop tons of bombs and destroy the fabric of that already fragile society. Though I vehemently disagree with the Taliban, it’s not up to me to decide the fate of Afghanistan. The change that will eventually come to Afghanistan must come from within. As for those Afghanis that sold their souls to the U.S. they will soon find out that life in America is not what it is advertised as. They will find out about the grinding poverty in our inner cities. They will see for themselves how shamelessly we allow the homeless to flood the streets in major cities across this country. They sold out their countrymen by cooperating with the foreign invaders and of course they are scared for the treason they committed against their own nation. All of this could have been avoided were it not for the arrogance of claiming the right to kill whoever was deemed beneath our “American exceptionalism”. Finally, all those that authorized, directed and participated in these wars against the people of Iraq and Afghanistan are war criminals and unfortunately true justice will fall upon them. The American motto from all sides of the political spectrum is: “We need enemies to justify our existence.”

    There is no such thing as a "Drone Program Officer" there are Targeting Officers. As an officer, it would have been his job to pass up what analysts provide him if it needed to go further. So sounds to me like he was bad at his job which is probably why he doesn't work at CIA anymore.
    I was surprised we were still employing drone strikes considering how fast things are moving on the ground in Afghanistan. For an ISIS-K target, we should be utilizing the Taliban as a proxy to deal with those targets since they pose a threat to the Taliban as well AND it would confirm the Taliban's commitment to acknowledging why it shouldn't repeat another relationship like it had with AQ. This way targets won't know if we identified them or if the Taliban did which is better for everyone.
    This guy is an antiwar reputation hound, doesn't care if the world isn't perfect, that mistakes have consequences only cares that people think he's a 'good person' by doing what reputation seekers usually do these days....talk and little else. The bad guys, they don't care if they make mistakes, they don't even consider mistakes to be ineffective, and they don't care what people think of them by what they say alone, they actually act and do and get things done, that's why they're bad guys. We have killed many targets successfully with drone strikes, such as Abdul Rauf Aliza. They will continue no matter how much people cry about it.

    I consider myself lucky, lucky in a way that although I come from a poor African Country, I have had the privilege to enjoy peace (never experienced a foreign nor civil war) since our independence in the 1960's. But what is troubling me is the imagination itself. America has invaded many many countries, illegally or legal (I do not care) and brought misery, death, sickness, poverty to sovereign nations around the planet. Virtually, every foreign or civil wars that are fought across the world, you will find an American hand in it, directly, or otherwise (they call this "American interests"). On the other side of the Atlantic, America as a Country determines itself as a democracy, a free world and standing head high in terms of human rights, notwithstanding the atrocities done in many countries. The Americans (the citizens) enjoy and flourish in the so called American dream while their government is involved in endless wars and mafia - like masquerades to advance self interests at the expense of others. They (citizens) do not speak against this, prefer to remain silent, or openly support and acknowledge these irresponsible foreign policy actions (knowingly or not). I cannot Imagine, how they (people) would later react towards the government in the event that they experience a civil war, but worst an invasion on the American land. The day that America will be struck by a foreign force(s), and witness the gruesome face of what a war really look like will be a turning point in the mindset of its citizens, but I bet, that would be too little too late. War, as we see it, more especially those that have experienced it, and suffered from it, is not something any country would wish for. I expected that a free country (like they claim it is) should have citizens that hold its political leaders to account, unfortunately, not in America. I can foresee a day when mindset would change, but following a very deadly invasion of the American land and cities, let alone its innocent people. Foreign policy of aggression has its blowback, now or later.
