More UAV's needed

This story about using UAVs in greater numbers should come as no surprise to those of use who read Sci-Fi.

Most of us wonder what is taking so long since Doc Smith wrote about it in books like this

long before I was born.

In Smith's books it is not all that unusual for tens of thousands of robot guided craft to fight and 'die' before any live person is injured.

I have already posted that I think we should be using Predators and Global Hawks massively in the mid east.
At least the Predators since they have not gotten around to arming the hawks, yet.

Update/Aside: After posting this I decided to check my copy of the Gray Lensmen to see how much I paid for it, $2.50. Isn't inflation grand?
