AtDrum dropped off a link in comments that Hondo sent to us to Brandon Bryant’s latest attempt to impress hippie chicks in the pages of GQ<\/a> repeating the stories of his depredation as a drone operator;<\/p>\n

From the darkness of a box in the Nevada desert, he watched as three men trudged down a dirt road in Afghanistan. The box was kept cold\u2014precisely sixty-eight degrees\u2014and the only light inside came from the glow of monitors. The air smelled spectrally of stale sweat and cigarette smoke. On his console, the image showed the midwinter landscape of eastern Afghanistan\u2019s Kunar Province\u2014a palette of browns and grays, fields cut to stubble, dark forests climbing the rocky foothills of the Hindu Kush.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Really? The air smelled of stale cigarette smoke? It must’ve been really stale because it’s been decades since the military allowed smoking in enclosed spaces and work areas. And why was anyone sweating? They were in an air-conditioned office. But that’s same kind of bullshit Bryant has spread and we’ve been able to disprove for months since his first appearance in the media<\/a> complaining that the snack machine in his workspace ran out of Cheetos. He’s claiming that he caught the PTSD<\/a> from watching the TV screens and his drone’s actions. I’m beginning to think that everything causes PTS if Bryant caught it.<\/p>\n

While Bryant considers leakers like Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden heroes willing to sacrifice themselves for their principles, he\u2019s cautious about discussing some of the details to which his top-secret clearance gave him access. Still, he is a curtain drawn back on the program that has killed thousands on our behalf.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And there it is – instead of being a quiet professional, Bryant wants to make a name for himself like Eddie Snowden and Breanna Manning. I’ve received several emails from some of the drone operators who despise Bryant for trying to make a name for himself on their work. Initially, Bryant claimed to have killed thousands of insurgents, and he was forced to back away from that number when his mates called him out. They’ve also disputed his other claims, but that doesn’t seem to stop him from flapping his gums, nor does it stop the media from returning to the lying little f*ck to give them the story that they’ve already written in their empty, pointed little heads.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
