Rockets coming down randomly (which is how it always _seems_ from the ground, is (as Londoners discovered when the V2 rockets began to come down) are an extraordinarily terrorizing phenomenon. Probably no one will eveer bother to explore the incidence of PTSD in the villages where drones have struck, whether they killed anyone, or killed just "guilty" persons (guilty of resenment of foreign inasion), or killed a number of bystandrs, the result would be humanly destabilizing terror and shock.

But of course stupid barbarian Pashtun have no reight to civilized complaits such as PTSD.

I really do find this quibbling a bit sickening.
