I've got news for you my friend - every man and woman in uniform could be just as safe if we handle our military actions properly. Our drones (including armed reaper drones) are flown from very safe, very comfortable bunkers in Utah.GD computer commandos all gung ho from the safety of their fat asses sitting behind their computers.
We have astounding technology that will easily prevent loss of life for our military. The problem is that the leadership never leverages it properly.
