You know, we kind of need to look at the culture of our current enemies, and at the moment they see the use of drones as cowardly and it makes them want to kill us more and makes them fight harder. Which seems to be a tad counterproductive. Kind of a hydra situation where you chop off one head for two to take its place. Wait until they build the Harvester or those motorcycle things from Salvation.

When I first read this, I thought about the cyborg from Trinity Blood.

...Because we mustn't try to lower rates of PTSD and casualties in our own military personnel by using more unmanned weapons, otherwise we're somehow "dehumanising" (or some other fluffy, subjective nonsense) people we're trying to kill in the first place! Yeah, makes perfect sense. I'm sure the civilians we've taken out on "accident" will appreciate the sentiment. What's the number again, half a million or so? Given that that's another reason this thing was designed, to avoid those accidental deaths, I'd say it's doing a hell of a lot better job than a squad of soldiers kicking a door in, tieing everyone up, then shooting them all

I couldn't care less. All I know is this: Kristanna Loken and Summer Glau are each more than welcome to terminate me whenever they want. ;D Has Summer Glau ever been in a series that made it past the second season? Does it look like I give a shit about that? I don't want Summer's TV shows; I want her, damn it!

They just do it for a different reason.
