>We need to make sure we're not being manipulated

That's a strange takeaway. Manipulated into what? Not liking drones? Not liking war? Being skeptical about drones? Opening to other points of view beyond the official narrative (or non-narrative)?

And, "manipulation" would imply that there is something untrue in the article. It's irresponsible to assert as much without any substantiation on your part.

The article is out now. If there is something to refute, then the powers-that-be can do so.

>We all know war is hell.

War is hell, but the distinction here is that drone activity is not "sold" as such.

>Given this is an article about drones it should be very drone specific.

If it was offered in a vacuum, then yes. But, it is being offered as a counter-argument to the current drone-narrative. Or, perhaps more accurately, a counter to the lack of information being made public.

>The military is aware of the impact on these operators.

The military may be aware, but this article is specifically addressing public awareness. Part of the title reads "The public should know what really goes on".
