Obviously our military has decided the use of robotic weapons to neutralize suspected terrorists is an acceptable use of this technology , so tell me Mr. Mike , how DOES it make any difference if this remote controlled death is carried out with two wings or four rotors ? I'd say the net result would be pretty much equal to the intended target ......
Wrong. We weaponized drones during the Bush era (A decade or so ago). And it was a brilliant idea. At that time you could fly out the drone and see the bad guys. Somebody said, since we are there looking at them, why not load a weapon (the drones had the capacity to carry them) and just on the spot eradicate the problem, and joint these characters with their designated virgins? The rest is history.
