"this is something I addressed earlier in the thread. Having said that, however, I worked in very close proximity to a number of unmanned assets in an area near where this happened, fairly recently, and I can tell you that the single biggest threat I faced wasn't IED's, wasn't rockets, wasn't mortars or missiles, but unmanned aircraft. I can't discuss much more than that, but I will say that whatever pie-eyed starry admiration you may have for them based on what you've seen on CNN is very misplaced, as is anything you think you know about their capabilities."

Sorry, I missed that part of the thread, could you reiterate for me? I do wonder what you observed to be the main problem with the unmanned aircraft, was it the machine, or the way in which it was operated?
