This not only reduces the number of military deaths abroad, but also allows the drone to go to places that are dangerous for the actual American pilot. In Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia, Mr. Byman said, "Since the government can hardly dominate remote areas, it is very dangerous to drive out extremists, and worse, in Pakistan and Yemen, the government has time and extremists Cooperation "(Byman 2) In most cases it is too dangerous to dispatch an actual army.
Because the battle of the drone is a gray field of international law, obviously not illegal but illegal and attacks can kill civilians, policies are widely criticized and often for ethical reasons . However, most of these criticisms are in a vacuum state to determine the drone attack (whether the drone attack is good or bad), not considering other options. Because manned and unmanned aircraft use similar missiles and target equipment, it is equally possible to attack the wrong target. The United States is not intentionally using civilians as part of an asymmetric war against terrorism and rebel factions - there is no strategic value - although the United States will accept civilian death as an incidental damage I do not mind. In some cases where American aircraft fired on purely private targets, the cause was intellectual failure and drones were also affected by this problem.
Audrey Kurth Cronin at George Mason University believes that despite the tactical spirit of a drones reconnaissance aircraft, it was unable to promote the strategic goal of countermeasures against terrorism in the United States. Cronin noted that terrorism itself is a strategy, but terror will succeed at a strategic level when shocking events are used successfully to gain political benefits. "To be effective, counter-terrorism measures must be addressed with a consistent strategy.Today's problem in Washington is that the drone program has spent his life until it establishes a strategy and it is not the opposite "Daniel Biman's viewpoint as a drones reconnaissance aircraft has greatly damaged al Qaeda. However, "Washington is currently faced with a permanent battle with amorphous, geographically dispersed enemies, and relationships with the original 9/11 planners are increasingly alienated.
