This is more Bad Co. 2 than CoD actually.

I actually know a Captain in the Airforce who is really involved with the un manned aircrafts. She has been in the military for years and has only seen 3-5 incidents like this. I wouldnt say that its more likely. When ppl think of the un manned aircrafts they picture nerds with joysticks. But its entirely wrong. There is a chain of command and the pilot cant do shit unless he follows it. The Airforce talks to the men on the ground and everything. I would like to see the military report on this because they probably published the conversation between pilots and the command.

agreed.
a friend of the family drives remote control trucks through the desert, training the pilots on their missions. its his job to try to fail them lol
and the ones who fly them are trained pilots, as well as the rest of the training required to operate the drones

I hate that the pilots are seen the way they are, with no attachment to what they are doing. If the kill someone they feel it. they don't have to be there to feel it.

Maybe he was an undercover terrorist?

With out a doubt they're probably being questioned, But as bipolardiz said

They can't take the shot unless they have confirmation and an OK, Otherwise all they can do is watch, Something probably went wrong with their IEDs or any other sort of tracking they may have had for the soldiers, Maybe interference in the satellite, The point is, In this crazy world, Just about anything is possible so many trials are expected to have errors.

Still, Predator is nice, would want one for Christmass.

They* And yes, Regardless of who you are or what You're doing, The point is, You took a life, It's going to take a toll in some way, shape or form.
Psychologically it can cause stress but not as bad as it would if you were to directly kill somebody, At least with In-direct contact you don't know if they're alive or dead.
never seen someone quadruple post. Please use the edit button and read the stickies. - jim
