Good Kill

Пилот Томас Иган управляет беспилотным истребителем — каждый день он атакует талибов на другом конце земного шара, а по вечерам отправляется домой, где его ждут скандалы с женой и детьми. Устав от такой жизни, Томас начинает сомневаться в правильности своей миссии. Ведь сколько бы террористов он ни убил, им на смену приходят новые.

Major Thomas Egan is an officer with the United States Air Force stationed at an Air Force Base near Las Vegas, Nevada. He is a former General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon pilot, married, with two children who live with him in a suburban house off-base. His current assignment involves flying armed General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper drones in foreign air space in support of the U.S. War on Terror. He is admired by his commanding officer and support staff for his calm demeanor, precise flying, and adaptability. Privately, he is concerned about the assignment, which he took after being informed there was reduced call for and increased competition among fighter pilots in the Air Force. His previous CO informed him that a tour flying unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) would look good on his record and would increase his chances of being posted back to a flying assignment.

Le Commandant Tommy Egan, pilote de chasse reconverti en pilote de drone, combat douze heures par jour les Talibans derrière sa télécommande, depuis sa base, à Las Vegas. De retour chez lui, il passe l’autre moitié de la journée à se quereller avec sa femme, Molly et ses enfants. Tommy remet cependant sa mission en question. Ne serait-il pas en train de générer davantage de terroristes qu’il n’en extermine ? L’histoire d’un soldat, une épopée lourde de conséquences.
