Multiple Choice
Which of the following best captures the objection that using drones will lead to violations of the rules of war?
A) The rules of war prohibit the use of uninhabited aerial vehicles for carrying out lethal military operations. Therefore, any lethal use of drones automatically constitutes a violation of the rules of war.
B) If commanders know that they can carry out a military operation without endangering their subordinates, they will carry out more operations. Every military operation carries a risk of jus in bello violations. Therefore, using drones will increase the number of jus in bello violations.
C) It is harder to tell the difference between combatants and noncombatants when using drones than when using other means of conducting military operations. Therefore, using drones increases the risk of killing noncombatants. That means that using drones will increase the number of jus in bello violations.
D) Drone operators will inevitably come to see their combat operations as a video game. That will lead them to take killing people, including noncombatants, less seriously than other kinds of warfighters would. Therefore, using drones will lead to more violations of the rules of war.
