SHEESH!!!!!
Probably the ONLY thing this clown has done RIGHT!!!!
It would require a declaration of war. Not to inform the enemy, who already knows he’s at war with you, but to inform the world and your own people that the gloves are coming off.
Nothing fancy, just a congressional statement that the US recognizes that a state of war exists between itself and the baddies. I think something like this was issued long ago for Al Qaeda, and just about every sentient being on earth knows we are at war with them and them with us. Except for the obamists, who are playing both sides against the middle.
When he starts using them on domestic Americans will the MSM raise a shout?
In my opinion there won't be pilots in combat aircraft for long. The pilot is the weak spot (airframes can be made to handle far tighter turns than pilots can stay conscious through) and takes up weight for him, his life support and cockpit. Also, unmanned aircraft can have far larger "crews" - imagine having observers constantly looking out each direction of the aircraft rather than a single pilot having to swivel his head - and can have specialized crew swapping in and out so that a carrier certified pilot is only needed at take off and landing if launching from sea.
