as far as the recovery on site team, I'm not sure about UAVs for the USAF but most all mainline aircraft can autoland and with a plethora of cameras taxing could be done with a lot more saftey. I think the 380 gives the guys underbelly camera feeds fwiw.

For every measure there is a countermeasure
That being said, I firmly believe that we'll see all military fighter/bomber aircraft going UAV at some point. Jets carrying human beings will always be controlled by another human being. IMHO.
Last (planned) manned fighter in the US has already been designed. I also think that plan will go the way of the fighter without a gun - probably disasterously.
Still, love to see young, hot Scandinavian chicks on layovers so lets not boo-hoo this concept prematurely.

Just exploring the thought. Makes the MCL seem like nothing though doesn't it?

I don't think we're gonna be yelling about being "scoped out" by video game nerds in a closed room someplace taking our jorbs anytime soon (doubtful before I reach retirement).
There are more pressing issues...

I agree 110% about not being "scoped" by Remotely Piloted Vehicles before either one of us see retirement.
