We absolutely do not kill our own citizens with drones, and not just because they are our own citizens, but what it means to be a citizen in our civilization. Which isn't to say we should kill others with drones either, this is another discussion. For now though, this. We don't do head-wringing "should we, shouldn't we murder" splattered across the media stream about our leaders' conundrum about whether they should kill an American citizen 'suspected' of terrorism, and this even not even past terrorism but suspected future terrorism. The whole discussion is stupid and exposes our cowardly class.
We shouldn't really be killing women and children anywhere with drones, as we have, the deepest possible cut to our honor and dignity, beyond turning our backs on our own soldiers when they come home, and we really should be reviewing the cowardly nature of drones in the first place, as far as the projected degradation of restraints to warfare this creates when you look at it in a realistic fashion, especially before our great foray into robotics.
We are a nation of the brave. Those who would trade security for liberty deserve neither, our coin. This currency is anathema to the elitist cowards who hide behind drones and special forces, and who cut the benefits of standard soldiers who have served their duty and paid an ultimate price. But the price they were really fighting for was liberty, not to protect the cowardly financial classes of America, and every means should be made to smooth these men and women's lives over, from whatever may have befallen them in protecting us tooth and limb from danger.
I'm actually tired of this dance. Sick of the cowardly action. 9-11 and bin Laden do not change this country, our ideals, ever, and if you think it does, go fuck yourself, you never deserved what you were deeded here in the first place. Listen to Franklin, and study your Constitution, and the debates leading up to it. Here we learn what we are all about, and what we still be all about after all the "hoo hee hee, oh the hee hoo hoo" about a random terrorist strike, as if the folks in the aftermath of WWII hadn't seen and beared so much greater a sacrifice and burden, and untold soldiers and patriots before that who called out the cowards as they are.
