Drone Wars: The Gamers Recruited to Kill

An extract from the 2014 documentary film “Drone” published by The Guardian shows military recruiters scanning video game fairs for the next generation of drone operators for often-lethal military activities in the Middle East and elsewhere.

“The military has invested in creating video games that they’re using as recruiting tools,” says one of the voice-overs in the clip.

Another says that “there’s a large number of innocent civilians who are being killed.”
