National Bird Page #3
of history, and today I
don't believe I was.
I worked on a DGS, a
Distributed Ground System.
As the name implies, I mean,
it's a distributed system.
And it spans the globe,
and it eats data.
And it eats lots, and
lots, and lots of data.
This is global. This
is getting information
anywhere, at any time.
Shooting people from
anywhere, at any time.
And it's not just one
person sitting there
with a little remote
control, a little joystick
halfway across the world.
That's not all there is.
It's like borders
don't matter anymore.
And there's a huge
system that spans
the globe that can just suck up
endless amounts of your life.
Your personal data.
I mean, this could grow
to get so out of control.
And we're not the only
ones that have this.
This is gonna be commonplace,
if it's not already.
[inaudible] need some water?
It's a secret program,
and what that means
is that I can't just go
shouting off the hilltops
telling the public what it is.
What I can tell
you is that to me,
one person who worked
within this massive thing,
it's frightening.
If I'm beginning with this
really long sentence.
"Sergeant Lang also spearheaded
the emission security
and accredidation process
for four coalition computer
networks enabling the
exploitation of 2,400 sorties,
and resulted in the timely
and accurate identification
of 121,000 insurgent
targets in support
of Operations Iraqi Freedom
and Enduring Freedom."
And then it goes on.
That means that the system
that I worked on basically
identified 121,000
insurgent targets.
technology that we control.
And in this case, we're talking
about a two year period.
So how many years have
we been at war now?
At least 12. Multiply.
Add up some numbers
and see what's really going on.
Dear Lord, we thank you
for this beautiful day.
We thank you for
friends and families.
Thank you for
everyone, everything
that you've given us.
Bless this food and
nourish our bodies.
Give everyone safety
in their travel.
Amen.
Dig in.
HEATHER:
I was an imageryanalyst. And a screener.
My job was to watch
what's happening
in the video... the drones...
The live video of course.
And identify everything.
Another remote duty
station-you'd
have the pilot of course... who
was flying the actual aircraft.
And the sensor operator, who
They were the ones that
actually push the button.
I do not push the button.
I just identify what
necessitates a button pushing.
We can't just bomb
someone and fly away.
We have to follow through.
The bomb hit, and wait for
it to cool down a little bit.
