Would he rather go back to a tent and skype his kid about his soccer game? Maybe he'd rather launch the maverick with someone shooting back - that would make it easier.

What a joke.
The UAV pilots did not commission the studies nor did they have anything to do with this being written. The community is going through numerous studies to see what the true effect is on a person is flying drones and remotely killing people. This is just an excerpt from the studies. They are massively undermanned so its like the roach motel....you get in but you can't get out. This undermanning also leads to surge shifts.....6 to 7 on 1 off and the prospect they may never make it back to their primary aircraft. Now you flying around in your shiny little pointy jet building time and having fun while they live in Vegas and sit in a box all day....99% of the time bored off their ass may not understand the big picture. So, go ahead and insult them all you want, but try to put yourself in their shoes. I think if they did studies on any group in this day and age they would reach similar conclusions. Everyone has to live their reality.
