Some dude sitting in a swivel chair hundreds of miles away, drinking coffee, deciding who lives and who dies.

UAV's are just aerial surveillance drones.

Look carefully at the picture. Those are Maverick Missiles on the wings of that Predator. They've been used as a missile platform all throughout the War on Terror. Several key Al Qaeda leaders have been killed by missiles fired by Predators.

see my journal to get a more detailed idea of what I'm talking about. I'm quite aware of who and what I'm angry at. Thanks.

Okay, but I'm fairly sure that the UAV's can only carry Hellfire Missiles.

This description is a simplified explanation to get people to check out my journal and sound off. You're comments, without reading the journal and getting the full story, are un-warranted. If you want to get the full story, then weigh in, you're more than welcome. Otherwise, thanks but no thanks.

Unmanned vehicles have a greater part in the military everyday. There's the Reaper, the bigger Predator that can carry 500lb bombs and in the works the UCAS to do full fledged bombing runs instead of F-117s or B-1s.

While I like having our pilots out of harms way, there is very severe moral implications.

Yeah, there was a Reaper doing flybys with this Predator. None of my shots of the Reaper turned out though. They were one of the last things to fly and the light was really low.
I don't know, maybe as a pilot, I'm just bitter about the potential of losing my job to a RC airplane.
