Little, Brown and Company The Psychology of Killing with Drones: Explores remote warfare ethics
Ever wondered what it's like to wage war from a desk? đŸ“˜ On Killing Remotely: The Psychology of Killing with Drones isn't just another military read—it's a deep, sometimes unsettling dive into the world of drone warfare. Lt Col Wayne Phelps, who's been there and done that as a former Remotely Piloted Aircraft unit commander, pulls back the curtain on the psychological toll and ethical quagmires of fighting wars from thousands of miles away.
Here's the scoop on what makes this book stand out (and trust me, it's more than just the 4.7-star rating from 114 reviews):
- First off, it tackles the big, uncomfortable questions about the ethics of drone strikes. No fluff, just hard truths.
- Then there's the myth-busting part—turns out, PTSD isn't just for boots on the ground. RPA operators have their own battles to fight.
- And let's not forget the peek into the future, where autonomous weapons might just make these dilemmas even trickier.
- Oh, and the personal anecdotes? They're gold. Real stories from the so-called "chair force" that'll stick with you.
Whether you're a military buff, a psychology enthusiast, or just someone curious about where warfare's headed next, this book's got something for you. Plus, it's a conversation starter—just try reading it and not wanting to talk about it.
