I have heard many a radio call while on air missions by the bad guys hanging out in the Everglades... these are really violent bad guys, and they make life miserable for honest folk, who, I’m sure would welcome all the help, Predator or otherwise they can get. Use of these drones requires some risk. Its a hard call, but not for name calling. Most FR folks are able see the nuances.
Everything has changed for me in trusting the government to use that kind of power against only the really bad guys as you described to me.
When I saw Obama’s goose stepping TSA agents naked scanning and feeling up and down women, men and children, when and hear liberals in power claim that Chritians are just as dangerous as are Muslims in the war on terror, I just lost all trust in our government.
I don’t trust the government not to be severely abusive with whatever military power and equipment they are given. While they are sexually abusing Americans at the airports, they permitted an open jihadist to murder soldiers at Fort Hood.
There is more terrible abuse of power that I have seen that upsets me, but that is enough for this post. I don’t trust our government nor our politicans anymore. They have no ethics.
