You need to go onto the military forum and read some of the ACTUAL statistics about the drops and what percentage are receiving orders to unmanned platforms.

Of course it is possible for you to know everyone of those few that are going to UAVs and therefore your perception is once again somehwat skewed.

So...you won't even encourage a person to pursue flying as a hobby? I'm pretty sure I've read in other posts that you have encouraged flying for fun; as you do it yourself correct? You even instruct some of the side don't you? If you don't support young people getting involved in aviation "at any level" then you are wishing for the death of aviation.

I'm sure you just misspoke though
