Reply #3: Hmmm, [View All]

Why not those exact sensors, an employee to read the sensors and a pilot in a Cessna.....Now with the Predator we know there is always a ground based pilot and most probably one or more personnel running the sensors plus a command structure to guide where the drone goes, although commanding "east along the border" and "west along the border" and "go back and check what the sensor picked up" seems rudimentary....

So WHY a 10 million dollar aircraft fit to carry munitions??? Sarah Palin proved a good pilot and a 30.06 can put a damn-damn on a target...Either it's pork for defense contractors or neocon militarism which pushes posse commitatus or they have future plans for the weapons rails.

In any case it smells bad and the policy needs review. I'm sick of 30.06 problems being cured with missiles....I ain't GOT a "homeland", just a sick country I used to love.
