Loiter time means shift changes on the “pilots” means one more capacity for “communication failures” to occur, means “false positives” lead to more “collateral damage”. I’d rather have an A-10 with an on board pilot any day “backing me up”. Of course, they’re converting A-10s to be a mobile platform to stand off, and let a back seater launch missiles against targets, so no “eyes on”, just trust the electronics. It’s nice to know that computers never crash, or screw things up, right.
I nominate that every american should have the right for nitroglicorin to be injected in capsules into their body, the second you get hit by a bullet, BAM anyone for the next 3 blocks is vaporized. If that doesnt stop gun violance I don’t know what will
Oh, I hadn’t even noticed there was a Jen Sorenson ‘toon. And she’s been here a few months already! I just said what this ’toon said in another thread. But since she said it before me, I must have copied it off her. :-|

She must be a racist. She doesn’t like drones, what else could it be except racism.

Is it any worse than the extremist targeting the people.

I blame lag. The drone operator presses the time he sees it on screen, but the drone is allready past that.
