I hope they use them instead of cruise mussles, helicopter gunships, or flattening villages with tanks to get their bad guys.

Like when we use drones instead of armies to eliminate threats, civilian causialties are much reduced.

Problem most people are having is they are comparing the wrong tools.

Many are pretending for political purpose that drones are being used instead of less deadly options.

That position supposes the us military would do nothing to stop threats otherwise.

I don't think that's likely.
