I don't condone what these people have done - but I am sympathetic to their protest. I think that the use of armed drones undermines the status and virtues of military service.
Oh my.
So anyone who does not agree with the "virtue" of any government entity should be free to engage in illegal activities to protest that entity? Really?
And separately, I've done LOTS of things while in military service. Some were virtuous, most were not. The military can be used for humanitarian operations which could reasonably be called a "virtuous" use of the military, but I would like to point out that the military is specifically designed and equipped to deliver rather extreme violence on people and their property, to include releasing weapons capable of laying waste to an entire city. Please explain the "virtue" in such actions.
