See there is your problem, Fox News represents conservatives and the old way. If you watched one of the progressive channels they would be all for this drones and the future crap. They are particularly impressed with drones and the kill list and how we deal with terrorists. Not the old fashioned way of using drones to track the terrorist so we can catch them and lock them up in Gitmo. That is too cruel and inhumane. Much better to shove a drone up their backside while they and their loved ones are bent over towards Mecca.
Bottomline, if we can operate drones safely in Pakistan airspace, then it must be good enough for the good old US of A.

The Navy just crashed another Global Hawk after they lost contact with it. This is an industry and technology 15-20 years old, with one of the more advanced platforms.
Also take into account that the manning and support footprint to support UAV ops is 3-4 times larger than a manned fighter squadron.
Relax boys, your jobs are safe from the UAV Boogeyman.
