"When Army scouts in Iraq spotted two men planting a roadside bomb Sept. 1, they called in a nearby Hunter unmanned aircraft, which dropped a laser-guided bomb and killed the two men.

The MORE the merrier, IMHO.

Get this
Same UAV, another engagement yesterday on emplacers.
SSE produced a video found on one of the bad guys. On one part of the video the local jihadis are sitting in a room and there is a boy that looks like he is,at most, 5 years old toting an AK and wearing a ski mask. There is more footage of these guys harrasing LN's. I'm sure it will be out on the net soon.
More proof of how shitty these guys are. Too bad no one in the Arab world or even the US will pay attention to it, but hey............'Pimp my Ride' is on.

Glad to hear we're using the technology to effectively destroy these monsters... but next thing you know these "pilots" will want flight pay...

Yeah, the UAV topic is a touchy subject for us former GSRs... they took all our promotion slots when they decided they were going to replace us with them...
