I’m all for the drone program. Have you ever been an a light infantry company? I’m no fan of Obama, and I’m aware of the anti war left’s hypocrisy on this and a myriad of other issues, but the drone program is effective and a good tool for commanders on the ground, special forces and the like to get rounds on target.

I used to think the drone program was just a way for some flags to look over the field commander's shoulder, but it has gotten much better than that. The ability to share and use drone products on a tactical level is an outstanding capability.

If people don't like drone strikes into Pakistan, blame the user not the technology.

Drones used on a foreign battlefield and/or against a foreign enemy are one thing.

Government Drones used domestically against peaceful, law abiding Americans are another.

Here is where we are heading:

I understand all the arguments on the pro drone side. I have no issue with the use of drones as a recon/intel aid, or the use of a drone with Hellfires as air support for a rifle company engaged in a fire fight. My problem with drone warfare as we practice it 90% of the time has become nothing more than “Whack-a-Mole”.
