Drone Strikes: Right or Wrong?




          In my opinion the use of drones is a flawed program with potential to protect United States citizens. On one hand, military use is important to help keep innocent people from being killed. On the other hand, there was a case where the people controlling the drone mistook a truck of twenty-seven civilians for hostile enemies. There are other flaws on the military side; there is currently no efficient way to know how many people you’ve killed, if you’ve killed any civilians, or if you even got the target. 
          In relation to humanitarian law, the U.S. has found what I think is a loophole; they can take out a target without sending an entire squad of fighter jets to do the same job as one drone. Although I don’t agree with some of the uses and recognize its flaws, I believe that drones have a lot of potential and are not going anywhere.
