With the final blog post, I wanted to discuss the drone warfare documentary we saw in class.
This was a very powerful documentary, which had a lot of emotion in it. This video focused on the reality of drone warfare in the military and showed how former drone pilots feel about the experiences they had and the actions they made. When the video showed the screens the pilots used in order to complete their missions, I noticed that it looked very familiar to video games I have played before. The similarities were astonishing. This was shown later in the video when they discussed how the military and entertainment have many connections. I was very interested how the military was getting ideas from entertainment and recruiting people who had specific skills linked to video games. It was also very tough to see the pilots talk about what they did. Pushing a button seems so simple, but the repercussions are so vast. I feel like these pilots have such a hard time dealing with responsibility due to their job.
