Well it was of course still too "weak", in a way. The real problem of the main character seems to be he cannot fly his beloved F-16s anymore, but maybe something like this is what is the real concern of most, and not the killing of innocent. Mention of doublespeak is there, though: Eliminating a threat, neutralizing, targeting, it is never bugging or killing.
I do not buy the critical officers though, i take it most just do what they are told. Code and all that.
But kills based on patterns not evidence, and certain strikes done because of getting direct orders from the christs in action (lol), who again get theirs from the government.. believable.
No one is guilty, all get orders and follow them, despite knowing what they do is wrong. But since any responsibility can be shifted to someone else/higher in the chain of command, they all carry on.
There are good reasons of course, to use drones. But i wonder when it will be common to use it against anyone who is suspected to be an 'insurgent', while insurgency and patterns that "prove" that, are being defined in the US. And soon, all will have drones. I wonder what happened if Turkey's Erdoghan would have his own.
But not too bad altogether, especially when compared to other films about the "war on terror" done with drones. Read: None.
