"People say we're not fighting for oil. Of course we are. They talk about America's national interest. What the hell do you think they're talking about? We're not there for figs." ~Sen. Chuck Hagel
"Turns out I'm really good at killing people. Didn't know that was gonna be a strong suit of mine." ~Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States
An unlikely voice has emerged challenging the drone warfare program: former U.S. Army Reserve Chaplain Captain Chris Antal, who spent time based in Afghanistan.
In April, he wrote an open letter to President Obama detailing his reasons for leaving the U.S. Army Reserves.
Citing his opposition to the administration’s use of drone strikes, its policy on nuclear proliferation, and what he calls the executive branch’s claim of "extraconstitutional authority and impunity for international law."
