    The vast majority of war zones have 0 civilians.

    Perhaps your min is too caught up in the Iraq/Afghanistan occupations

  I think you’re forgetting a very important third category of people…

    I am not. Turns out you can pick and choose where and when to use drones.

      which is why the US military has not ever bombed any civilians, weddings, schools, hospitals or emergency infrastructure in living memory 😇🤗

        They chose to do that. You’re against that policy, not drones themselves.

      Preeeetty sure you are. And if you can, you should probably let the US military know they can do that, because they haven’t bothered to so far.

        They know. It is not important to them.

        These are very different drones. The drones youre thinking of have pilots. They also minimize casualties - civilian an non - so you’re not really mad at the drones, but of the policy behind their use. Specifically, when air strikes can and cannot be authorized.

  I’m sorry, I can’t get past the “autonomous AI weapons killing humans part”

  That’s fucking terrifying.

    I’m sorry but I just don’t see why a drone is scarier than a missile strike.
