Drones have risen in prominence during the war on terror in the last ten years. In theory, they make war safer, by protecting civilians and American soldiers. However, is this actually how drones function? And what are the moral and psychological implications of committing acts of violence thousands of miles away behind a screen? Bell examines the darker side of drones and how the rise of robotic warfare will change the moral landscape of combat.

June 2014: Peace (Volume 14 Issue 6)
The ELCA social statement For Peace in God’s World provides a moral framework for evaluating the relationship between war and justice. Herman explores if the statement is theologically deep enough to grapple with modern warfare, which looks very different now than it did twenty years ago when the statement was adopted. Using Nigel Biggar’s In Defence of War, Herman looks at just war theory and how it applies our political and moral landscape today.
