Would be interesting to see how DGP's masters would respond to this development:

U.S. Army Chaplain Resigns In Opposition to Use of Assassin Drones by the United States

May 06, 2016


U.S. Army Reserve Chaplain Captain Christopher John Antal resigned from the U.S. Army Reserves on April 12, 2016 in opposition to U.S policies regarding militarized drones, nuclear weapons, and preventive war. Antal stated he could not serve as a chaplain for an “empire” and could not “reconcile his duty to protect and defend America and its constitutional democracy and his commitment to the core principles of his religious faith including justice, equity and compassion and the inherent worth and dignity of every person” with policies of the United States.
His letter of resignation stated that he resigned because he could not support “unaccountable killing: through the U.S. armed drone policy and the Executive Branch claiming “the right to kill anyone, anywhere on earth, at any time, based on secret evidence, in a secret process, undertaken by unidentified officials.”

“unaccountable killing: through the U.S. armed drone policy” … “the right to kill anyone, anywhere on earth, at any time, based on secret evidence, in a secret process, undertaken by unidentified officials.” …

Antal refuses to support the U.S. policy of “preventive war, permanent military supremacy and global power projection” in what he calls “imperial overreach through extra-constitutional authority and impunity from international law.” …

“We have sanitized killing and condoned extrajudicial assassinations…war made easy without due process, protecting ourselves from the human cost of war. We have deceived ourselves…denying the colossal misery our wars inflict on the innocent.”
