Obama: Plz give us back drone kthx
Iran: LOL no
Obama:

Although I find it hard to believe that the Iranians are doing anything more than this with it:

Yeah, but I heard with Obama, Iran was all really nice and polite and stuff when they said no. They would have told Bush to go eff himself. I love being popular again!

No one built these things with a self destruct? JFC, we need to check the specs we give to Raytheon.

Probably wirelessly uploading some type of virus to their military comp system. LOLs on them.

Seriously though, WTF have we not sent more drones in to blow that thing up? No doubt it will end up in the hands of the Russians and Chinese.

Is this KSU-Salina's fault? Anybody?

When's the press conference with the crying?

why are drones perceived as worse than manned missions? (I think they both suck, BTW).

i've not heard of manned missions in pakistan, so i think drones are worse because they are doing the majority of the killing.

From a brown persons perspective getting bombed by a drone is much worse. Not a damn thing you can do

In part because of the psychological damage caused to civilians due to them always flying around and the chance that they could kill I would think. Also I think that most people don't know how they are controlled and the term "drone" suggests that they are autonomous, and not controlled in a similar way to any other aircraft.

I think you may be missing what a manned mission is?

I think drones can be very useful. I just do not like how our government uses them. I read a statistic saying for every 1 suspected terrorist killed roughly 50 civilians die. Not to mention the double tap method where they usually fly back to the target site and hit it once more. And that they will be flying over the skys of america giving big brother the ultimate birds eye view on us!

This post is not meant to take away from the terrible things going on overseas, but this does hit on an issue.

Wait until people start getting speeding tickets in the mail 7 days after a drone clocks them going 81 on I-70. The public outrage over that will be greater than the current outrage over their usage in wars going on right now.

Lol at drones being used for traffic tickets.

Some states already use/have used aircraft to monitor speeding by air. Multiple cities use camera's to take pictures and send tickets for running red lights. This isn't any different, just wait until it's cost effective. It will start with construction zones for "safety reasons" and slowly grow.
