Are you against manned air forces too then? It's literally the same justification used for everything "why risk our own troops"
Not at all.
A guy in a plane dropping a bomb is risking life. A stooge in a trailer in Arizona controlling a Reaper in Pakistan - not so much.
People act differently when present to danger. Million other things come into play. My point namely is that once we separate the individual that can kill from any danger in doing so - there is no way off that slippery slope. It will just continue until the person is removed altogether and we just have killy parts. The dream of the death machine.
Probably why Call of Duty is so damn popular, raise a generation used to using that joy stick and just translate that mindset into being sat in front of a "real" joy stick with real consequences. And no, I'm not one of those get-rid-of-video-games people. I'm a mom with 3 boys who all played that shit growing up but none have murderous tendencies as young men.
Precisely it. Reagan actually talked about “lay off your kids for video games. It’s going to be important for warfare.” Or something like that.
I played flight sims as a kid. Bout all I could get into. Was super fun.
Oh wow. I didn't know Reagan said something like that. I looked it up and found an article with famous video game quotes. And quess who's at number 17 (lol)?
