minus-squareMagnum, P.I.@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoHow is that better. You do realize this is very sophisticated bombing. Would you rather have a guy run into your house or the house of your family or some super sonic mach 3 drone? What kind of contest is that anyway.
minus-squareKairos@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 month agoI’d rather have neither. I’m just saying some isolated metric doesn’t give the full picture.

minus-squareCenzorrll@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoIt’s a dumb metric as well, seeing as warfare evolves and modern drones were mostly untested before Bush 2.0. Bush did the beta testing, it worked. Obama continued their use. It’s like saying more people used iPhones in 2015 than in 2008.
