You are the commander of a drone mission in eastern Africa. You've been ordered to drone strike a building full of terrorists who are gearing up to suicide bomb people.

Please note that you are NOT Alan Rickman in this scenario, nor Helen Mirren. You are Steve Watts (Aaron Paul), a former methamphetamine dealer turned drone pilot. You are ready to pull the trigger, but at the last moment a little girl enters the "kill zone." She is selling bread to feed her family. Your superior, Helen Mirren, repeatedly informs you that you are "clear to engage." You have the option of delaying the operation by requesting a CDA (collateral damage assessment) prior to engagement. This could allow the suicide bombers to escape before the CDA is completed.

Are you cold enough to kill that little girl, or will you risk allowing the suicide bombers to kill many more innocent people at a crowded venue? What do you do???

You select the "poll" tag, and then you click "preview post." After that, a checkbox will be below your post to post a poll. Click that and post your thread, and then you will have the option of attaching a poll to it!

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

I got my drone pilot notice 30 days prior to. Well, on that day I ceased cleansing my body. No more brushing my teeth, no more washing my hair, no baths, no soap, no water. Thirty days of debris build. I stopped shavin' and I was 18, had a little scraggly beard, really looked like a hippie. I had long hair, and it started gettin' kinky, matted up. Then two weeks before, I stopped eating any food with nutritional value. I just had chips, Pepsi, beer-stuff I never touched-buttered poop, little jars of Polish sausages, and I'd drink the syrup, I was this side of death, Then a week before, I stopped going to the bathroom. I did it in my pants. poop, piss the whole shot. My pants got crusted up.

See, I approached the whole thing like, I, a cool hard-workin' dude, am gonna wreak havoc on these imbeciles in the armed forces. I'm gonna play their own game, and I'm gonna destroy 'em. Now my whole body is crusted in poop and piss. I was ill. And three or four days before, I started stayin' awake. I was close to death, but I was in control. I was extremely antidrug as I've always been, but I snorted some crystal methedrine. Talk about one wounded motherf*cker. A guy put up four lines, and it was for all four of us, but I didn't know and I'm vacuuming that poop right up. I was a walking, talking hunk of human poop. I was six-foot-three of sin. So the guys took me down to the physical, and my nerves, my emotions were distraught. I was not a good person. I was wounded. But as painful and nauseous as it was — 'cause I was really into bein' clean and on the ball — I made gutter swine hippies look like football players. I was deviano.

So I went in, and those guys in uniform couldn't believe the smell. They were ridiculin' me and pushin' me around and I was cryin', but all the time I was laughin' to myself. When they stuck the needle in my arm for the blood test I passed out, and when I came to they were kicking me into the wall. Then they made everybody take off their pants, and I did, and this sergeant says, "Oh my God, put those back on! You f*cking swine you!" Then they had a urine test and I couldn't piss, But my poop was just like ooze, man, so I poop in the cup and put it on the counter. I had poop on my hand and my arm. The guy almost puked. I was so proud. I knew I had these chumps beat. The last thing I remember was wakin' up in the ear test booth and they were sweepin' up. So I went home and cleaned up.

They took a putty knife to me. I got the street rats out of my hair, ate some good steaks, beans, potatoes, cottage cheese, milk. A couple of days and I was ready to kick rear end. And in the mail I got this big juicy 4-F. They'd call dead people before they’d call my rear end. But you know the funny thing about it? I'd make an incredible drone pilot. I'd be a colonel before you knew what hit you, and I'd have the baddest bunch of motherf*ckin' confirmed strikes you'd ever seen. But I just wasn't into it. I was too busy doin' my own thing, you know?

I can't really take the war on terror seriously but I imagine if I somehow became a part of that paranoid CIA culture and started seeing suicide bombers down every Yemen alleyway I'd start to change fast.

As a civilian it all seems really dumb and bad but I have to admit my ignorance + bleeding heart

us drones are not dexterous enough yet to carry out enhanced interrogation techniques on nearby civilians. the air force added a blender to the hardware, but the robotic arms necessary to shove blended food up people's asses just don't exist yet
