Unmanned aerial vehicles, UAVs, were envisioned by Nikola Tesla in 1915, birthed in 1959, and first used in 1960 in the Vietnam War. A military representative testified before a 1973 U.S. House Committee Appropriations panel about our loss of over 5,000 airmen and another 1,000 MIA or POW, in defending our UAV program. Our military (or overt) UAV program is used in conjunction where our military is deployed; the covert CIA drone program operates clandestinely. “As a tool for search and rescue UAVs can be used to help find humans lost in the wilderness, trapped in collapsed buildings, or adrift at sea.” (From Wikipedia) “UAVs are used by at least fifty countries, including Iran, Israel and China, who have built their own.” With names like: Predator and Global Hawk, there are now the Ravens, which are “so small they can be launched from one’s hand and maneuvered through streets to discover insurgents or ambushes ahead”. “They can fly for days at a time, and can collect intelligence by loitering around their target.” Guided by GPS, they strike with surgical precision and take out their targets, the evil-doers, as “W” liked to call them. And collateral damage is far less than using a Daisy-Cutter bomb. The U.S. War on Terrorism campaign, begun under “W”, continues today. I love saving our service men and women by deploying drones! Let evil-doers beware!

Do you agree with the use of U.S. drones in Afganistan, Pakistan, Syria and elsewhere?
