Point taken.

I’m thinking that the drones are very effective and have become a mainstay in
Our National Defence.
I wish they had been used at Benghazi.
They were threatened at the Bundy Ranch.
Our Warfighters definitely like them!

3800 kills with 540 strikes...
7 per Hellfire Missile ...
Kinda pricey.

I think they are mostly effective as a political weapon and, when used as a combined arms/force multiplication tool, they are are useful militarily but when you start trying to use them for tasks beyond that scope, their overall usefulness diminishes.
