摘要：The use of unmanned combat air vehicles challenges the established notion of military heroism, which is based on the idea of fundamental reciprocity: the power to kill and the risk of being killed. Within this logic, soldiers can become heroes if they bravely fight the enemy and put their life on the line. Drone pilots by contrast operate from a safe distance to the battlefield without any risk of injury. Hence, armed drones have been often described as the paradigmatic weapons of an upcoming post-heroic warfare. The article questions this point of view and argues that heroic interpellations are indispensable as long as there is a need for the willingness to self-sacrifice.
