I agree. I hope we have about 10,000 of the airborn drones, 20,000 of the underwater drones and 50,000 all terrain drone tanks stored in various installations. Why waste American lives when we just can fill up control rooms in Tampa with young adults who have been fine-tuning their hand-eye coordination for over a decade ;>) I have seen the future of war and it is RC!

They can't do it as well from Tampa due to the time-delay and reliability issues with satellite transmission. Also, it's a lot harder to get clean line-of-site transmissions to surface vehicles and submarines (but not too hard for surface boats).
That said, yes, we should maximize the use of these devices in the Middle East. I just hope our "pilots" are better protected than Kobar Towers.
