Drones
I recall hearing a radio broadcast which featured the US operator of a drone strike working from his family home in the USA but going to work in much the same way as anybody else, stopping for lunch and finally returning home for his supper and a pleasant evening with his family. Strangely, perhaps, I found this the most shocking account of the use of such weapons!
