Abstract
ABSTRACT Starting from Derek Gregory’s analysis of the well-documented and deadly 2010 US drone strike in Afghanistan and the 28 August 2021 strike targeting Zamarai Ahmadi in Kabul and his important questions about how strikes are conceptualised as exceptional and how they are justified by the US military, this commentary focuses on the relationship between the norm and exception, and the work that the interplay between the two does in producing and justifying violence. In particular, it is argued that this extends beyond the context of drone strikes and warfare to practices of state violence outside the battlefield.
