What is the nature of your objection?

That we have armed UAVs?

That they are organized into squadrons?

That their operators wear flight suits?

That one of these operators had girth you could not believe?

Why do you suggest that operators of armed UAVs are not the sharp end of the force?

Do you have reason to believe that this UAV operator was incompetent?

Move CAS, including fixed wing, exclusively to the Army and Marines.

IIRC, the military is hiring civilians to operate UAV’s, out of warehouses thousands of miles from the battlefield. I don’t have a particular problem with that...although the flight suits seems strangely silly.

How many members of the UAV squadrons are on flight orders or receiving flight pay?
