A former US drone operator is speaking out against the atrocities he says he was forced to inflict during his time in the armed forces and says the American military as ‘worse than the Nazis’.

Brandon Bryant was enlisted in the US Air Force for six years. During his time with the military, he operated Predator drones, remotely firing missiles at targets more than 7,000 miles away from the small room containing his workspace near Las Vegas, Nevada.

Mr Bryant says he reached his breaking point with the US military after killing a child in Afghanistan that his superiors told him was “a dog.” Mr Bryant recalls the moment: After firing a Hellfire missile at a building containing his target, he saw a child exit the building just as the missile struck. When he alerted his superiors about the situation after reviewing the tape, he was told “it was a f***ing dog, drop it.”



Following that incident, Mr Bryant quit the military and began speaking out against the drone program.

There is only one law of war and has been for centuries, “ might is right” .

War On Terror (WOT) is absolutely different from conventional war in which two uniformed forces collide in clear view of each other.

WOT is about unmasking terror networks and terrorists who do not wear uniforms and have the outlook of normal civilians as well as live among normal civilians. These people have families too.

Therefore, if a drone attack is to materialize in a living space on priority basis, collateral damage becomes impossible to avoid at times.

Might is right theory is actually barbarianism. When Islam came, these behaviors were demolished. Dont compare the muslims of today, In Islam u cannot kill anyone who doznt want to kill u, u cannot damage property, u cannot kill women n children. Collateral damage in today's war is unavoidable but extreme care should be taken to avoid it.

very well said, that is the main reason why Makkah was conquered without any war and blood shed by Holy Prophet(P.B.U.H) and His Companions R.A
