US killer robo-plane makes strike without remote pilot...
Automated killware now handled by sergeants

A US killer drone has carried out a lethal strike from the skies above Iraq, for the first time remotely controlled entirely by non-aircrew-rated, enlisted soldiers. The milestone would seem to foreshadow redundancy for large communities of military pilots in coming years......

We don't need no stinkin' pilots.....

The US is willing to loose a few of our own from friendly fire for the greater good of all mankind. We will call those soldiers patriots and give them a special medal. If the us army does not save the world from all the evil who will?
BTW, anyone wanting to pick one of these up to help fight for freedom, stop by your local walmart. Be sure to read the instructions well as it comes with a warning not to use it around your playstation, as the controller has been known to take control of this thing.
