This appears more of the long-running bedazzlement of the public which war gaming and futuristic toy-like killiing and harming gadgets was invented to do. If Wired had no criticism of this it should be ashamed. As should Brookings a once ethical organization. Wired might give up its threat level strutting and turn to more civilizing coverage, with less war porn. Sure readers will have to weaned from the narcotic of play with yourself war and that will be tough with the rise of masturbatory digital gaming so essential to train gullible warriors to do what no sane person would do if they visited VA hospitals grotesqueries instead of TV-watching bury-the-evidence glorification cemetaries. Drone pilots are as evil as SEALs and special ops in their willing participation in political PR stunts of murdering innocents under orders from distancing executive branch officers. War gamers and gadget inventors and their media-amoralists are shamelessly exploiting the WMD heritage of amoral technology and propaganda aided by NGOs as diabolcial as GOs camouflaged by national security inviolable sacred cow protected by secrecy. US titanic export of arms pays for these diverting games and these obsequious media dressed in hipster cammies, Perhaps unwrite this very list of friendly fire. At 10:31 AM 8/29/2012, you wrote:
Wired (Aug 24) - "From Bug Drones to Disease Assassins, Super Weapons Rule U.S. War Game" by http://twitter.com/daxe@daxe: http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2012/08/future-warfare/all/http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2012/08/future-warfare/all/
Drones feature prominently in all of the mid-future war gaming scenarios presented, including insectoid, tire-eating drone swarms deployed to disable the vehicles of enemy combatants.B It is assumed that the drones of 2025 will have much greater autonomy and be deployed in much greater numbers.
The war gaming event was organized by an Australian consulting firm, http://www.noeticgroup.com/The Noetic Group.B Yet it seems to have been run in conjunction with the Brookings Institution; John V, do you have any insight?B Two representatives from Brookings are mentioned in the article, Peter W. Singer [ http://twitter.com/peterwsinger@peterwsinger ] and Allan Friedman [ http://twitter.com/allanfriedman@allanfriedman ].B Mr. Singer is an interesting fellow, and a prominent voice in a CBC documentary I watched recently and highly recommend, Remote Control War. http://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/doczone/2011/remotecontrolwar/http://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/doczone/2011/remotecontrolwar/
