As a former infantryman I have great difficulty watching these drone videos.
Don't at me about the rights and wrongs of the wider conflict, and I agree that the Russians shouldn't be there. But don't forget, these cheap grunt killers will be coming at your servicemen in future conflicts.
The final image you will see of a loved and respected brother or sister will be a panicked, screaming US soldier trying to outrun an explosive toy. No doubt about it.
Yeah. I can watch the videos without flinching too much, yet I think they should not be shared.
