UAV's are cool.

I haven't heard much about military technology since the war in Iraq was in its infancy. This article on CNET was an eye opener. My response: Holy crap! These things actually work!

When I first saw the news story about 4 or 5 years ago about conceptual unmanned military machines, I was like "yeah right, maybe in 20 years these will actually serve a purpose."

If it is one thing that puts an edge on the United States military, it is most definitely technology.

To me, these UAV's resemble those huge foam airplanes that you used to beg your mom to buy in Lewis Drug. They are simple - yet deadly. Why did it take us so long to get these things into the game? I'm not sure, but our human soldiers should be very thankful. I am thankful for their service.

Thanks for reading.
