I rather thank that it is you that have missed the point, or not read LJR's post. He quoted facts. You quoted ill-informed speculation.
You had to go to the Congo for your first example, the second is irrelevant - the crew engaged a convoy the aircraft did not. Your third link I could not get to load.
What you must understand is that large UAVs flown by rated pilots are not perfect. They will crash, get lost etc etc but they are at least as good as manned aircraft. UAVs are also not a panacea, there will be manned aircraft in all spheres for many, many years yet.
I understand the resistance to change and the physical move of the pilot from the aircraft to the ground is a big change, but brace yourself for the future, try to think objectively rather than knee-jerk react.
