Abstract

Can Milgram?s Findings Provide a Framework for a Guilt-free Drone Warfare?

Christodoulos Katsaitis*

We all know about war and more precisely, about the psychological after effects and traumas it leaves those participating with. Whole lives can be ruined by combat-related disorders that severely impair daily functioning. They all seem to revolve around a certain feeling: guilt, mostly deriving from emotionally vivid and lived-through experiences. However, that is not the case when it comes to armed drones. So, how is the mere nature of drone warfare related to a psychological experiment from more than 60 years ago?
