They're not autonomous yet.
😉
Seems they get some folk more frothed up than manned combat aircraft.
The CIA have just got the thumbs up from the Chump to use them to blow away scumbags, his predecessor apparently trusting only the military with that authority and not Spook Central.
Don't worry, FEMA Fearers. They won't use them on you. They can just hack cars to take you down. Thank you, Vault 7! 😁

People see drones as the powers that be positioning themselves to be ready to invade any and all assumed privacy. Not to mention raising the potential for a war against the rising sentient machines.

I think you have it rather the other way around - the problem with drones is that people treat them as less serious as other types of warfare, not more.
Think about how newsworthy and politically important it is if the US launches a drone strike in, say, Yemen. These days it would barely make the headlines.
But send manned fighters in and it would be a major news story, yes?
And now think about how newsworthy and politically important it would be if the US launched a ground invasion of Yemen. It would be front page news for months on end.
Drone striking another country shouldn't be treated as any more than those other things - but it shouldn't be treated as any less than them either. Which is what happens now.

Personally, I am offended by all weapons of war...
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed"

I think drones are cool.
It makes sense to use them in just about any form.
I can't wait for my first Amazon delivery by one of them.
I'm tired of seeing that weird mailman.

It'll be Obama's fault, no matter what. Trump could go all Martin "the missiles are flying! Hallelujah!" Sheen in The Dead Zone, while molesting teenage girls, live on TV in the Oval Office, and Ada will still blame Obama. |
