Drone Blowback?
Writes Jack Douglas:
===================================
Writes 99guspuppet ....
I have sketched out the bare outlines to a book that stole ideas from a number of people.... One of my inspirations is *Ender's Game* by Orson Scott Card. In my story, some youngsters are raised on video games that are similar to MicroSoft Flight Simulator. They are kept largely ignorant of the world outside their enclave. What they are not told is that they are being trained to fly manned drones on suicide missions. When they actually go on a mission, they will not realize it is any different than any other day of their life. It will be the last day of their life. Using GPS information, they will fly in under the radar , disguised as something benign. They will fly to their target and crash the drone. BOOM ..... They are dead and lots of collateral damage is achieved. Way cooler than strapping explosives around your chest.
I abhor violence.... so I will not be organizing this ... for sure , someone will do this.
The US plans to use drones to spy and kill everywhere. They forget that something so simple and cheap can become a deadly weapon against a Global Empire that is exposed worldwide, maybe a guerrilla war-winning weapon like the IED's in Iraq and Afghanistan, but much smaller, hard to detect, and cheap.
