Abstract
This chapter develops President Obama’s use of drone warfare, at the center of his policy framework, in greater detail, to bring out its wider historical-philosophical context. Beyond tactics, strategy, personality, and leadership, this is both a moral question and, by implication, a psychoanalytic snapshot of the society that approves, or is indifferent to, this course.
