“Twenty-one National Guard Airmen will face felony charges for allegedly bilking $1.4 million tax payer dollars through an expense scam. All of those listed in the indictment belonged to the Guard’s 214th Reconnaissance Group, which operated top-secret Predator drone flights over Iraq and Afghanistan. This was not a minor racketeering scam. Most of the defendants collected more than $100,000 by falsifying expenses between 2007 and 2010. These charges are disturbing, but they should not be surprising. Drone pilots are routinely given the opportunity to play God when they are handed the controls to a Predator drone.”
