What's your point, though? What's so wrong about UAV strikes that's not wrong about any other lethal kinetic action or strike? I mean the vehicle is unmmaned, but it's not like COD Black Ops 2. It's not programmed and sent on a killing mission. It's controlled by an actual pilot (so, it's not a drone, btw). Why the consternation? Lack of risk to the warfighter?
Are you fricking serious? Drone strikes usually kill unarmed civilians. It just so happens the government deems any male over the age of like 11 to be a possible combatant
But yeah, let's all get our pussies sandy over overaggressive interrogations.

And you know this how? Do they kill more unarmed civilians than old-school airstrikes did? Do we operate under different RoE for UAVs than we did for manned aircraft? Do we not make every effort, with surprising proficiency, to avoid collateral casualties (as we have in the past).
If you can't distinguish between carrying out targeted strikes against high-value targets and torture, I don't know what to tell you.
Why don't we withdraw from the Geneva conventions? Since people already die in war, what the frick does it matter what else we do in the conduct of the war, right?
