re: #401 Dark_Falcon

Chris Hayes is a moonbat who’s never seen a weapons system he liked or could support the use of. Weak, stupid, and sick.

He’s trying to edge into the Glenn-Greenwald-Industrial-Complex. ;) The trend now is to become all hysterical about UAVs. We have two choices with AFPAK. We either stay or go. Sooner or later we will be leaving. However, it’s absurd to focus on drones. It’s sort of like debating which is worse, getting shot by a .22 or a shotgun. UAVs can utilize low-yield munitions and more precise targeting against enemy targets. Without UAVs we’re looking at what? Some F-18 orbiting around and dropping a 2,000 pound JDAM.

It was the Obama administration that decided to expand the use of UAVs. So every time these guys start complaining about UAVs they’re criticizing the Obama White House. Their alternative of course is an unelectable candidate like Dennis Kucinich, Ralph Nader, or any other utopian candidate. Focusing on UAVs seems to be quite a stretch and arguing about the minutia. If they’re anti-war then they should be arguing for a complete withdrawal from AFPAK and not the use of “drones”. If we stay and hypothetically stop using drones that means it would have to be replaced with traditional munitions platforms.
