    When the targets are things like that wedding in Mali sure.

    I think your argument is a bit like saying depleted uranium is better than the alternative, a nuclear bomb. When the bomb was never on the table for half the stuff depleted uranium is.

    Boots on the ground or heavy ordinance were never a viable option for some of the stuff drones are used for.
