Think Darth Vader has it right. I just thought it was cool. Id park one on the a-hole that parks his S class in the handicapped spot, sans handicapped tag.

I didn't even own a camera.
A friend of mine was in the infantry in Fallujah during some of the heaviest fighting. It happened that I'd sent him a camera a couple of months before. He sent plenty of after-action shots and now I know what an Iraqi man looks like after being hit by multiple 50-caliber rounds, others with phosphorus burns, etc. No horror movie comes close.
Modern war is absolutely terrible for those on the losing side. I'm very glad there are men able to do what is necessary to be on the winning side and remain reasonably sane.

I would be more worried about the Russians at the moment.

couldn't we just drone the shite out of those tanks?
Don't know why everyone thinks drones are so awesome/powerful. The MQ-9 Reaper carries the most firepower and at most it can only carry 4 GBU-12s (500 lb Laser Guided Bombs), 4 GBU-38s (500 lb JDAMs), 8 AGM-114 Hellfire missiles, or some combination of those. It only has 4 external hardpoints to hang those weapons on.
The 500 lb bombs would not be very effective against a main battle tank. The Hellfires would be effective, but the Reaper doesn't typically go into the fight loaded with just them.

Well, looks like they are trying to kill the a10. Thank you Obama and our welfare state.
