“One year later, two dozen of its drones patrol the skies over Iraq and Afghanistan every hour of every day.”
Money well spent. I’d blanket the country with them..
The interesting thing about blanketing an entire country with them....is that you have to have a real pilot (who makes in the $60-$90k range of pay) flying each one of those. The AF won’t accept the idea of a lesser ranked guy (like the Army does it)....and they currently run around and talk of the vast shortage of Predator pilots...because real pilots don’t want to fly UAVs.
