even if you just take the overarching themes of it without looking too much into detail about it, you have one deity saying to commit genocide, then later on the same deity (purportedly) says to not be violent, turn the other cheek, yadda yadda. then a few pages later you get some rando coming in and writing fanfic about the deity's son that he never met and somehow changes most of the fledgling religion.
U.S. presidents cannot be prosecuted for selling pardons or assassinating political rivals through SEAL Team Six, personal Trump lawyer John Sauer argued Tuesday.
which one? drone strikes were a big thing under the obama administration. It was targeting combatants in Afghanistan, ordinarily though. I don't recall a Reaper taking out a political rival of his.
as much as i detest mechanized warfare, if dude actually defected to the enemy side and was acting in a combat role (not a medic or other non-com role), then he would have been a legal target.
that being said, drones are a slippery slope to completely removing the human decision making in pulling the trigger to kill someone. eventually, they will have automated targeting on those things, then they'll implement automatic decision making, then they'll implement automatic killing of the target that the drone itself decided was a legitimate target. the problem here is, what are we going to train those drones with? How can we be sure that everyone it kills is actually a combatant?

consider a character where the one disability gives rise to a heightened ability in another form. For example, someone who is blind may have a heightened sense of hearing. That could would really well in a tabletop rpg in a scenario where the character could hear something before anyone else could sense it.
