Don't fear, the Reaper's here
The great Charles Hanley tells us about an eager new addition to the coalition of the willing — robots:

The arrival of these outsized U.S. "hunter-killer" drones, in aviation history's first robot attack squadron, will be a watershed moment even in an Iraq that has seen too many innovative ways to hunt and kill.

That moment, one the Air Force will likely low-key, is expected "soon," says the regional U.S. air commander. How soon? "We're still working that," Lt. Gen. Gary North said in an interview.


Why isn't it ready to deploy? Needs more cowbell.

5. Nope.
Far too many people in the Empire already couldn't care less how many non-US citizens the military kills. If Imperial troops stop dying and getting wounded, the Empire wouldn't have any reason to care how well or badly a war was going.
