I think I saw/heard something earlier pertaining to drones and this picture reminded me of it.
Imagine getting out of a war, coming home scarred with PTSD, and going to an event like this, or a vacation on the beach or what not. Then just hearing the buzzing of a drone flying over to get aerial photos of the event.
It's funny (or 'funny') because people can have immensely different reactions. I remember a story of a WW2 GI who came home to the US wondering if he was just forever numb to the things he saw fighting in Europe. Very shortly after he came home, a few months, I think, he coincidentally was witness to a rather bloody car-crash (not him or anyone he knew), and was sick on the spot - later noting that, in a strange way, it was relieving - because when he was fighting in the war, a sight like that wouldn't have made him give a second glance. Getting sick at the sight of gore was, in a way, a confirmation that he hadn't lost that piece of his humanity forever.
People can come away scarred, but people can also adjust with astounding speed.
