active denial

Seriously, the military doesn’t want to deploy a system that doesn’t kill people because of political issues surrounding torture. Instead, killing people is acceptable and not really torture - cause they die? It seems this is no different in the hands of the military then any other weapon they already have; and in reality could potentially save lives and make their jobs easier.

What am I missing here?
