Why's that?

What's the difference between a drone and an AC-130H when it kills someone?

Why? Or do you hate all weapon's platforms that kill people from above?

Well...I am sure they have practical uses. I think that the drone pilots should be held accountable (prison time) for any mistakes they make though.

I don't think any pilots are held accountable, let alone the Drone Pilots.

I believe they are the testing platform to the UMAC that will play a pivotal role in the war against the machines.

I don;t agree with pre-emptive attacks absent a declaration of war. I understand Congress gave the president pretty much carte blanch after 9/11, so technically it's not an abuse of power, but I do think it flirts with violations of international treaties. I also understand we're battling a faceless enemy in the war on terror. But I just don't agree with the use of drones in this "war".


In times of war? Sure, use them.

They live a tough life full of servitude, but at the end of the day they advance the colony. For the greater good, I am pro-drone.

I dislike most weapon's that kill people from significant distance. I believe if you are going to take someone's life you should see them take that last breath.

Totally agree that we ought to bring back swords -- but we'll have a hard time convincing the Taliban to do the same.

Two completely different types of pilots. One pilot puts their life in the hands of a man made machine.. the other sits behind a joystick somewhere.

So you'd rather have someone that could potentially get Black Hawk Down'd than someone who cannot?

Removing humanity from warfare. There are plenty of compelling articles written on the subject.

False. Pilots are held accountable when they make a mistake.

We need to go back to muskets like the 2nd Ammendment implies

I'm not saying either way. I'm just pointing out there's a pretty big difference between the two.

Compelling is pretty subjective, don't you think? And I'm sorry, but every attempt at training someone is to remove their humanity. Ever wonder why we call people ''targets'', soft or hard? Desensitizing soldiers is age old and the advent of drones won't change anything.

Let me guess, video games also cause people to be violent?

How many pilots have been held accountable vs. how many have hit civilians by accident? Bet you the number is pretty dichotomous.
