Congratulations. You have attained a perfect score in America's Army: The Drone Missions. You have been draft. A car will be by to pick you up shortly -- nm - Mop on Macbook Air Oct 27, 15:13 3
- I think the operator/pilots can still work out of a control uplink here in the US, the crew on site would be the maintenance guys to gas them up/arm - 2 Geisty for my Zeit Oct 27, 15:43 2

    - plus targetting/killing people while on US soil just seems like it could bring up tons of issues of legality, accountability, etc. -- nm - zork Oct 27, 15:46
