Drone thought experiment

[graham4anything]

2. 20 million people died by Hitlers hand.

had a drone been around then, and say Hitler and 20 collateral died, it would have saved 20 million lives.

However,the 20 collateral most likely would have died anyhow at the same time as the 20 million died.

so the correct analogy is how many would die in a man to man ground war, instead of a leader of terrorism and a few collateral.

as Richard Clarke said last month, drones are the most humane form of warfare that exists at this time.

Would one rather an old a-bomb be exploded and cause instant deaths, plus horrible cancer deaths 10 years from now?

the more correct analogy would be-
how many people would a living terrorist end up killing in one, two, ten years had the drone not gotten him.

no longer is war fought between borders. The world is now a borderless place.

imho

(btw, lest someone ask why I bring up Hitler, I am Jewish and my family was directly affected by him. Would have loved a drone two weeks before hitler gave the orders to have silenced him. Maybe my grandfathers brother would have been someone I knew.Because he never came to the US, I never knew him (as he died because of Hitler).
