So Israel actually beat US to the punch when it comes to using drones & taking advantage of what they could do, did they? Good for them.

There was a 1983 report that one of our generals who had been inspecting the Beirut barracks bombing site was asked to visit Israel afterward. They showed him overhead images of himself, walking around the site -- with crosshairs tracking him.

The israelis said, " That is a laser designator. We could have dropped a bomb into your hip pocket at any time during that video. Are you interested in purchasing some of our UAVs?"
