"I'm all for using drones for reconnaissance - but not for remote killing."


Genuine question.

What is the difference between a Predator loitering in the sky above some Taliba and after they pick up firearms and fire at our troops firing a Hellfire missile at them as opposed to calling in B2 bomber to drop a GPS guided bomb from 10kms away ?

The same objective is achieved, but the B2 crew don't see the target whereas the UAV crew do.
