“I no longer love blue skies. In fact, I now prefer gray skies. The drones do not fly when the skies are gray.” That’s what a young Pakistani boy named

Hard disagree. They keep US soldier casualties low and that’s all the politicians care about; preventing bad press. The risk to US forces shouldn’t be zero; they volunteered for the military and dangerous missions while civilians in their homes have not. Civilian casualties are high because they bomb without talking to people on the ground; which leads to hospitals being blown up which wouldn’t happen in other methods.
