About 2% accuracy is attributed to these strikes by Admiral Kilcullen. Why are we allowing these illegal operations that kill voiceless innocent people mainly because the drones had been produced and had to be put in operation? Such a shame.Recommend
I would like to mention that I once met a Pakistan Air Force pilot and questioned him if the air force had enough resources to drop these drones; his answer was in the affirmative. He replied that if given the orders, the air force is more than capable of controlling these aerial weapons. However, no such action is expected since we have become American slaves.Recommend
