      These are the exact same people who are totally fine with drone striking children from a base thousands of miles away because one of them might actually be a terrorist in disguise walking on his knees or something. Actually, I think I heard once, from somewhere I can't remember, about how insurgent forces getting drone strikes by Americans in that region were/are pissed off about drones from a "they're cowards who won't fight us like real men" perspective, so I guess they have that experience in common now - what it's like to be on the other end of a military power with arms and information quite far beyond your own.
