In the book The Hobbit and in the movie, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey title character Bilbo Baggins is part of an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor. Approached by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo joined a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior Thorin Oakenshield.

But not before he signed a contract with the dwarves. Bilbos Deed of Contract is a paper given to him by the dwarves. specifying his terms of involvement with the dwarves, including travel expenses, and Bilbos share of the treasure. Also known as The Conditions of Engagement, the contract is rather brief:

For your hospitality our sincerest thanks, and for your offer of professional assistance our grateful acceptance. Terms: cash on delivery, up to and not exceeding one fourteenth of total profits (if any); all travelling expenses guaranteed in any event; funeral expenses to be defrayed by us or our representatives, if occasion arises and the matter is not otherwise arranged for.

Your mission, if you accept it, is to analyze the contract between Bilbo and the dwarves under the U.S. (not Middle Earth) law of contract formation. Does it contain the four elements? Are there any defenses to enforcement?

. What was the role of legal systems and the law in making the decision to strike?

Background: (Eye in the Sky) is a move fictional account of a multi-national operation and drone strike targeting members of the terrorist organization Al-Shabaab meeting in a safe-house. The original intent of the mission was to capture them but when it is determined that the militantsa are preparing two imminent suicide bombings the mission changes from capture to kill.
After you watch the movie, reflect on its content and the ethical decisions that were made (or avoided) by military officers and political leaders in this fictional military operation.
Questions:

1. The movie intentionally sets up ethical dilemmas and conflict. What do you think were the main goals and issues at the tactical level (the capture/strike mission), the operational level (multinational military operation), and the strategic level (the political needs and desires of the British, Americans, and Kenyan governments)?

2. There was discussion and the weighing of the tactical value of the assassination with the negative publicity of killing civilians and the status of some of the targets as British nationals and American nationals.

3. What was the role of legal systems and the law in making the decision to strike?

4. How did the legal views contrast with the political views?

5. The strike operation is being made in a nation not at war with either the UK or the US. How much of a factor was that in the operation or how much should it have been?

6. Which individuals do you think were the key participants of the operation? Did any of them avoid making ethical and moral decisions?

7. The risk assessment officer is told to study the probability of civilian casualties and places it as 45%-65% but then is told to report only the 45%. Is that ethically right? What do you think the analyst should do?

8. What issues with respect to using drones does the movie portray? Would the ethical dilemmas have been any different if the strike was being done by a skillful pilot with an unguided dumb bomb?

9. What do you think the movie portrays about civil-military relations?

10. What do you think the movies portrays about personal responsibility, personal ethics, and professional ethics?

11. Do you think you would have terminated the strike in order to save Alia (the little girl)? Should it have been terminated?

You may answer the questions 1 by 1 or you may incorporate them into a single narrative. Give some thought and time to your answers.
