How do we wage war in the 21st century, when remote drone operators shoot missiles at targets across the globe while suicide bombers blow themselves up in crowds of innocents or behind fortress walls? Can ethics be applied to war, and how will the soldiers of tomorrow be trained? KCRW General Manager Ruth Seymour explores these and other questions with filmmakers, authors and national security experts.
