Here’s the full Fault Lines episode that aired on Al Jazeera
English tonight on drones and the future of the US military.
Our final episode of the season, “Chile Rising,” airs next
Monday, January 2nd, at 2230 GMT/ 5:30p EST.   Over the past
decade, the US military has shifted the way it fights its wars,
deploying more unmanned systems in the battlefield than ever
before. Today there are more than 7,000 drones and 12,000 ground
robots in use by all branches of the military. These systems
mean less American deaths. They also mean less political risk
for the US when it takes acts of lethal force – often outside of
official war zones.
