re: #202 The Very Reverend Battleaxe of Knowledge

Carpet bombing a city to take out a guy who may or may not be there is much more manly. Drones are for wimps.

I’ve never really gotten the anger over drone strikes. The US is in the business of ‘killing bad guys’ and if the President gets actionable intelligence about a bad guy being in a location, generally speaking his options are using a bomber or a drone to hit the target. It’s just another club in the golf bag and outlawing drones just means more bombers or if they got enough time/assets in the area, sending in a special forces unit. The end result is always going to be an attack launched on the area to kill the bad guy, the only question is how many Americans get attacked as a result.
