Good let it happen. Get some death from the sky rained down on your asses because it's cheaper, cleaner and saves lives

You wonder how people would feel if they were told drones were going to be overflying the US to "keep us safe" with prompt kill capability though.

The general refrain is that drones are cleaner, limit the scope of war, and keep everyone safe.

This site says that 60-70% of Americans support drone strikes, maybe it is popular feeling that influences things the most: http://drones.procon.org/#did_you_know

I only wish Toronto's dead ex-mayor Rob Ford was still alive, then the 3 of them could get together and have an old fat white dude crackhooker party

You are just remotely controlling a robot aircraft, without any real emotional stake in the killing or threat to yourself.

One of the disturbing things with drones is that it makes war like a video game.

Voting isn't always the way especially with the mugs you have to choose from

Politicians bend to one thing over lobby money...populist rising and movement.

sure a minor perk

Nah, but I like the looks of him already. :D

I didn't say the only reason was that, but it is one of them. A lot of the people who died in recent wars were contractors, and they don't count civilian deaths the same way.

haha, that guy...you've never seen or heard of cat stevens?

16 Jul 10:01

Hey that guy in the vid you linked has hair a lot like mine. :D

Nah the reason was money. You can overcharge a private company for "services" and the military will pay for it. Guess who owned shares in the main contractor companies.

And nobody seems to give a f*ck about people who got their family get together busted by a bunch of Hellfire missiles.
