Scientists 'Hack' Into Flying Drone

Seriously...? The United States pioneered the movement to minimize collateral damage using smart weapons (to our detriment). This has increased the cost per combatant killed, AND set the expectation that ANY civilian loss is a tradgedy (unrealistic given combatant tactics of hiding among general population).

To make matters worse, un unobjective and biased media is there to record ANY mishap. You think our enemies give two rips about OUR civilian casulaties..? (ref: 9-11).

I dislike responding to trolls like you spaceracer... but I dislike misinformation and ignorance MORE.

So, you call me names because I object to civilian casualties? Please, what is your definition of "troll"? My observations are made to contribute to the discussion, if you feel I should not participate please let me know, I did not realise I was spreading "misinformation and ignorance", my apologies for offending you. As for the enemy giving "two rips" about our civilian casualties, are you implying we should stoop to their level? I disagree. I respectfully disagree, is that more to your liking?

and HOW exactly did your political rant add to the conversation on "Scientists hacking into Flying Drone..?"

At least have the courtesy to mark it Off Topic, that way I would have ignored your opinion as I was looking for substantive information.

I was trying to point out the fact that others will be attempting to hack the drones and by using them we will all be at risk, and I dont feel the need to justify my responses. Nor do I have time to engage in a flame war so this is the last you will hear from me on the subject. Also, I notice your lack of posts, could it be your just using one of several aliases to go out of bounds? Your so clever, what chance would I have? Im just an uneducated old fool, but you still have not specified what "ignorance and misinformation" you meant. If you dont tell me I will not be able to avoid repeating my ignorant misinformed response. And finally I would say "You cant beat the Devil at his own game!"

Misinformation: "Seems to me the US government is not worried about killing a few innocent women and children to get their target."

Ignorance: "And if they miss the target, oh well, they just send another missle."

Those were not the "Rules of Engagement" when I served at the start of Desert Storm, where we demonstrated our compassion for minimizing collateral damage. Not sure if you have fought in a war, and been in a position to kill someone in defense of a mission... soldiers do not like war, and don't kill for sport. More ignorance.

I'm sure you are educated, you just went a bit off-topic with your "beliefs"... and as such, mark it that way in the future. Baseless conspiracy theories, such as me using an alias.... :) I have no patience for. Cute though.

Smart weapons... dumb operatives?
Air Iran Flight 655 ?

Aint that the truth!
