Isn't it amazing how quickly we went from the Wright brothers to jet airplanes to space shuttles? We can thank the Yugoslavians for their space technology and the Nazi's for the jets.

As a former member of the Armed Forces, I say bring on the drones. Our next enemy may be so advanced that our planes are going to need to pull some serious G's; so high in fact a human pilot would not have a chance in a fight. Drones can aslo be used in a Nuclear/Biological/Chemical environment where humans could not.

Yup, those tribal farmers might get ahold of some stingers... better throw all of your defense budget into producing ultra-advanced stealth drone bombers just to be safe

Tribal Farmers? Since when did they become our emenies? What I am referring to is a more technologically advanced enemy, and not necessarily from this planet. With armed drones capable of supersonic flight and no human occupant, their maneverability would be unsurpassed. They would be very handy in a conflict with Iran as well, so our bases would be better covered. Anybody who has ever been shot at would appreciate the drones, they are there to save American lives. I am an American and I have been shot at, but we didn't have drones. We had Apache Helicopters which are more capable than drones, but it puts another American life at risk.

The drones still need human tecks to keep them operating. Some one has to make sure that its is in shape to fly
and that everything is working right, and they need someone to do maintaince on them.

I wish the made terminator's that looked like arnold, that would be so cool and the gave them the same type of voice and qoutes like "come with be if you want to live" but really i think this is a good idea or a good start if we could keep the enemy busy while not losing live's in the act then this is a good step to a better goal.

Yeah, I'm sure imperialists would love using drones to fight their wars for them, while the enemy is forced to fight on their own feet in their own land.

Enemies "not necessarily from this planet"? Really credible statement there Maybe if the US really does end up taking over the whole world, they would have to make that excuse official in order to justify further weapons development.

Maybe you should worry less about risking your own soldiers in combat, and worry more about not starting wars where your soldiers and weapons are necessary, that usually end up killing hundreds of thousands of the "enemy" as we have seen over the past decade.
