does anybody have an opinion on whether these drone strikes help or hurt our fight against terrorism. It’s not that i cant make up my own mind, but that many freepers give very insightful answers that i hadn’t considered before
“Drone warfare creates a lot less collateral damage than, say, shock and awe campaigns”
I call BS on the blame Bush rhetoric for starts. Beyond that, all air and space based options are of limited effect. You can play whack-a-mole forever, but you ever notice how you never run out of moles? Such campaigns make for nice presentations, but there is no substitute for HUMINT and an on-the-ground presence.
