Who do you think will win.
The guy in the control room who is about to launch a hellfire missile up the Taliban's rectum.

Lol, how do you figure drones aren't effective?
Originally posted by oozyism
Actually drones are not effective at all, are you suggesting drones have some type of highly accurate laser in them which can kill individual targets, or is it just gonna send a missile and kill 1 insurgent and 20 innocent people?
(Reuters) - A NATO airstrike in Afghanistan mistakenly killed 27 civilians, the government said on Monday, hurting a campaign to win over the local population and defeat Taliban insurgents.

When civilians hang around insurgent fighters. When do they go from being civilians to part of the insurgent support network? Which is a viable military target in any operation. You have your numbers skewed on the insurgent to civilian kill ratio.

And how many civilians are killed by the insurgents? Or do you not want to talk about that? Or are you gonna say it only happens because were there? Civilians were killed by them before we were there. Or do you chose to forget that?
How does offering a different opinion from you equal trolling? Or do you just want to spew your propaganda without having a debate?

Again, dogs can't go inside the houses, you have to give me an explanation how you think the dogs would get in the houses?
1. Afghans mostly don't like dogs.
2. Afghans have doors too, and their doors are never open.
3. It would be pretty obvious if you see a dog with a camera. I don't think the insurgents are that stupid to allow a dog with a camera on his head to roam around freely, or let them in their house.
Dogs have never been used for surveillance, yes dogs have been used as guards, yes dogs have been used to bite, for terror etc, but never for surveillance.
It is just not viable.
I suspect it is more than surveillance, I suspect it is either for terrorism, or to trick the insurgents in to killing the dog and taking the camera back to their hideouts etc..

ok.. sats can only see thru a house in infra red.. ok? how does that help have you ever looked at any thing via infra red? it doesn't tell you much and they don't just shoot missiles? and I've been to afganistan their housing would be Condemned so a dog going inside wouldn't be a problem.. besides these dogs have handlers and they really would be the ones kicking in doors.. so you do know they don't send these dogs in by the self's either.. the army works in teams there would at least be a squad backing these guys up..en.wikipedia.org...
