(82,383 posts)I would not prefer to be shot over droned. I would want neither to happen to me. Neither would I want to be in a building burning from a plane crashed into it.
Maybe you don't believe there is any real terrorism? Was 911 created by the Bush Administration? How about the WTC bombing?
Sorry, I don't see you convincing a majority of voters of that any time soon. There are AQ in Yemen and Pakistan, Afghanistan, and the American public is not so enlightened as you are, thinking they should be allowed to continue their plans unmolested.
Because if they can't be hit with drones, then I assume we are not allowed to shoot them, either. Or you are willing to have the troops that near them so as to be more likely to be killed themselves. In which case, we'll need a draft, as there will be a lot more need for new soldiers.
