Comments on: '60 Minutes' video: Drone warfare in Iraq

Even thousands of miles away I'm terrified. Why are Americans always so impressed with cutting-edge technology in weapons, when they know that it will inevitably lead to more unnecessary death? Is Iraq really worth the life of hundreds of thousands?

You're seriously asking if the freedom of millions of people, the stability of a nation, and the protection of the free world is worth the sacrifice of our soldiers? Why don't you ask a soldier?

Watching the first video tells you that the ratio has gone from the 1:1 kill ratio of world wars 1 and 2 to 700:6 - entirely from unmanned technology. this is only a good thing, provided it's not used for the wrong reasons.
