we led the way. we continue to lead the way. it's our 'pilots' being turned into cowards, who get to clock out at the end of the day and go home to their families.

it's a tactically stupid move. if the 'enemy combatants' we are trying to kill decide they want *revenge* then they'll have to bring it the war to us. since they have no uniform to identify in this war, as per geneva conventions, but only a faceless remote controlled robot bomb-raining cyborg monster in the sky.

..

i wonder if these drone 'pilots' have problems sleeping? i know i couldn't do it.

i have a conscience.
