This ain't fucking playstation

Major Thomas Egan (Ethan Hawke) is a soldier in Las Vegas, Nevada, operating a drone that bombs Talebans in Afghanistan to kingdom come. He's a pilot, but he's not flying. Probably not the most exciting way of warfare, but he gets to job done, and then some. The absurdity of the fairly new way of combat and the collateral damage within are the reasons why the major is feeling unwell. It's a though-provoking piece, but not powerfully enough executed.
