They are just machines, they don't think. They are also programmed by humans. besides a drone isn't going to do them much good with people hiding in heavily dense woods.
The fully armed robot looks scary, but once again it's still a machine. If it is autonomous it can only do certain things. Sure they are definitely lethal, but nothing that can't be defeated.
You are in way over your head, my friend !
In this case, ignorance is definately bliss !

As a former US marine i can tell you given my own experience the military will fire on anyone they are told to, regardless of who, what, when, where, why. Once again we will find the answers to these questions from our worlds recent history.WWII Nazi Germany, Russia under Stalin ect ect ect. If you think we are any different or that our soldiers are so much different from those soldiers back then (some who only recently passed away) then in my opinion you are either dead wrong, or hoping and praying to whatever god you believe in that they won't.
But........they will

One unmanned drone is all you need? For what?
Just one little problem. I was among a few men who for months were actively hunted by an entire enemy division. They patrolled, they covered our drop areas, they would conduct sweeps, and they would sit in ambush.
We operated right among them, on their ground, in their back yard, and while we had a few close calls, they still weren't up to the job.
I am so tired of this 'holier than thou' military veteran crap !
You people have no idea who I am or where I've been ...
Of course, I assumed you would consider the drone infrared equipped, or with friend-or-foe transponders ... because my troops are radio ID'd ..
fergettaboutit ...
This isn't 1930 anymore !
This game is all over but the cryin !

Why don't you and your ilk learn about the US military and the people who are in now - and not back up your crap spewing with a bunch of youtube videos of random incidents. Go actually meet and talk to some regular Soldiers then come back and tell us what you learned.
