I think I first heard of drone's nearly a decade ago, way before I ever was online (been online about 4 year's now) and thought they would be excellent for defense as far as being able to stop some of the conventional combat that we constantly have to engage in, especially in some of these flea bag f'n countries (that I wouldnt even have our highly skilled in frankly). I'm not against traditional combat Jim, but also realize that we dont have to be in it to get good excercise's and training is all, and I only like using shit when necessary, to me I feel war's has become a bigger business than ever, especially with these corporate interest's being behind so much more today than ever it seem's like. But now also looking at the various kind's of new drone technologies being worked on now and uses, we should have also suspected that there will also be some foul play, and of course the mini spy drone thing observing all of us, I mean, before long a MF wont be able to engage in small chat on a street corner without some tech zooming in on it ... so alot of work as far a sright's, use, etc has to be ironed out. Yes Jim ... my concern is hoping also that we dont try dominating too many countries and babysitting ourselves into more goddamn austerity phoney baloney talk as well. Enough from me though. One thing fo sho tho, I sure as Hell dont want Romney and a bunch of Repulican's gaining any power ... shiiit ... we'll need to speak bloody Pakistani as a 2nd language : )<br /><br />Hope you had a decent Fathers Day bud ....Ranch Chimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14086251248546955720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15216381.post-25362747175065741422012-06-18T10:24:25.364-07:002012-06-18T10:24:25.364-07:00Jim you of all people should know that using bombs...Jim you of all people should know that using bombs in this case is not the answer. Even our own generals have said as much. This is a war of ideology. One that must be fought by education and propaganda. These people have a very rudimentary sense of justice and when you kill their wives sons and daughters you're not gaining any hearts and minds.<br />They may be inflating the number but so are we. It's starting to remind me of the figures out of Vietnam during that period. And once one "top" Al Qaeda leader is killed another one takes his place.<br />Remember we created this monster when Afghanistan was fighting the Russians. In that case we used their religious fanaticism against the Russians and then installed the Taliban.<br />As Afghanistan and Pakistan are basically third world countries I doubt seriously that we'll ever be able to have anything close to a victory in our lifetime.Demeurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01935263659097273535noreply@blogger.com
