Are you talking about the Army 3-ft wingspan line-of-sight remote control aircraft with a camera as opposed to the multi-million dollar USAF unmanned vehicles operating over-the-horizon at 300 knots with up to 5,000lbs of forward-firing ordnance in close proximity to manned aircraft and occasionally employing said ordnance in close proximity to friendly troops?
Why aren't you smarter on this?
By the way, employing ordnance in real life and killing others in support of national defense (whether on the other side of the world or not) is in no way considered "playing a video game."
