The War on Terror – Drones, Shadows, and Special Operations

from Perspectives on America's Wars · host Kieran Griss

This episode explains how modern warfare shifted after 9/11 from large-scale invasions to targeted operations using drones, special forces, and intelligence networks. Drone strikes and covert missions allowed the U.S. to fight terrorism globally without traditional battlefields — but raised moral, legal, and strategic questions. The War on Terror became a war without borders, fought in secrecy and silence, where victory became impossible to clearly define.
