Apparently you should be better informed as to WHO actually flies the drones. While support staff and the drones are in Afghanistan the pilot/combatant is usually in this country which is the United States of America. I added that because someone might be confused.

1) They are not always piloted from the United States.
2) American servicemen place themselves in the thick of things to keep the drones operational in the skies above Afghanistan and Pakistan.

You suggested that using drones was somehow "unfair" because no American lives are at stake while these things are in the air. That's not true at all and you're silly for suggesting it.

You're also silly for suggesting that war should be fair or somehow sporting.
