Drone pilots now authorized to telecommute

LAS VEGAS—Drone pilots will now be able to strike targets anywhere in the world from the comfort of their home. Citing increased flexibility for remotely piloted aircraft operators, Defense Press Secretary Charlie Summers unveiled a new telecommuting policy during a conference yesterday.

“As long as the pilot has an internet connection they can operate their drone,” said Summers. “On a family vacation? Before you get drunk and sunburned, hook up to the hotel wifi and get a few strikes in.”

"Dart One Two/Command, we're not seeing sufficient information here to allow CinC's senior adivser to the Head Chef to make the call. What's your recommendation?"

"Uh, Command, it looks like I'm losing resolution here; I can't tell if that's our terrorist master-mind or a bunch of drunken whoring Secret Service agents. Local meteorological conditions on the back porch registering light-rain with wind from the northeast at 3 to 5... unable to fix that, over."
