Sacramento Bee ^ | 11/30/10 | Bill Lindelof

Peace groups outside the main gate of Beale Air Force Base today will protest the use of remote-controlled drone aircraft.

They are calling on military personnel at the base to resist war and the use of the drones.

"If we can't stop our government from continuing these costly, endless and immoral occupations, our only other option is to encourage military personnel to become war resisters," stated a press release from CodePINK Bay Area.

Hopefully, one of the remote control drones will go “skynet” and terminate the protestors. Then, the military can blame it on a virus....

Any way to use those drones on these protesters?
Maybe drop large amounts of bird pooh on them or something?

I've got it: ban drone aircraft. Use B-52’s to carpet bomb the area.

This is so funny. The main gate at Beale is almost as rural as Edwards. Once inside the base, one has to drive 10 miles to reach the first facility. The nearest store is 8 miles away. The nearest Starbucks is about 15 miles away. They won’t last long.

Who knows where the nearest bathroom is, but Code Pinko won’t care, they’ll wiz and crap wherever they have to. Environmental aftereffects are justified because of the greater good, as defined by the left.

USAF public affairs officer: “We have expressed the protesters concerns to the drones. The drones have no comment.” /sarc

The best war resistance tactic I know is to be armed to the teeth, and willing to lock and load.
