This video pulled just about every emotion out of me. That technology would roll out just about as easily as large drones did with all notions of consent giving way to military spending being higher than ever before despite all evidence showing Americans are not in favor. There also won't be any shortage of people looking to help with the programming because then they would "just be doing their job." They aren't "psychotic cowards" but "heroes" or "independent contractors." Their salaries can't be traced because the agencies that pay them don't exist.
The US government is shady as hell and obviously has the power to act without our consent so, personally, I'm at the point where I understand that my vote does not count nearly as much my own hands do and I got two of them... one for holding a gun and one for pulling the trigger. The difference is I'm not invading countries and calling it a defense budget.
