We Kill Because We Can: From Soldiering to Assassination in the Drone Age Paperback – October 15, 2016
Purchase options and add-ons
Welcome to the Drone Age. Where self-defense has become naked aggression. Where courage has become cowardice. Where black ops have become standard operating procedure. In this remarkable and often shocking book, Laurie Calhoun dissects the moral, psychological, and cultural impact of remote-control killing in the twenty-first century.
Can a drone operator conducting a targeted killing be likened to a mafia hitman? What difference, if any, is there between the Trayvon Martin case and the drone killing of a teen in Yemen?
We Kill Because We Can takes a scalpel to the dark heart of Western foreign policy in order to answer these and many other troubling questions.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2016Laurie Calhoun has produced a compelling case against the use of drones in the so-called Global War on Terror (GWOT). The book is well researched and includes many footnotes which the skeptic may use to research her claims. Calhoun refutes the popular propaganda that drones are effective in stopping terrorism, that "collateral damage" is a rare but necessary evil, that drone strikes save money. She makes a strong argument that drone "warfare" is closer in nature to illegal assassinations. The primarily difference is that in latter case, a hired assassin risks his own life and liberty to murder a target; this act is veiled in secrecy and illegal, although usually only the assassin and the target are at any risk. In the former case, there is absolutely no risk to the life or liberty of the drone operator; this act is carried out (relatively) and is legal, although the intelligence used to target terrorist suspects bis rather unreliable and anyone (guilty or not) within a certain radius will probably die as well. Potentially high numbers of innocent victims are redefined by the US government as enemy combatants, provided they are males aged approximately 16-50 (drones don't check I.D., of course), who happen to live in "hostile" regions. Most targets are unarmed and unaware they are being targeted until they are ripped to shreds by Hellfire missiles. In most cases, not even their names are known. Many drone attacks take place in countries the US and allies are not even at war with, such as Pakistan and Yemen. I advise everyone to research the truth behind the State funded lies regarding drone warfare, and this book is an excellent place to start.
