What a waste of money. I mean REALLY! Whatever happened to "seek out and destroy the enemy in ground combat, take and hold ground"?
Lets just give EVERYBODY an X Box. Better yet . . . sell live feeds and tell the 13 YOs its a game.

Are we going to need bumper stickers that read,
"Ban the drone. Make the world safe for conventional warfare."

bad, Bad, BAD idea.
Good morning Mr. Dozer,good to see your posting again...... How are you and your son doing?........ You removed your PM?........

Thank God they're not Air Fporce kamikrazies. The cost would be quadruple at least.
