Drones Pros Cons

When certain principles apply to warfare, most moralists argue that the means to do so is foolish due to the disruptive nature of war. But in other terms some argue that without put thought into taking our enemies lives, we cause them to become pest that could be completely destroyed without noble consideration (Dalziel).

The aerial vehicles known as drones tend to strike fear into the hearts of some people. Although drones have become very successful in their mission to put a stop to the violence that has consumed the Middle East. People are now starting to fear that the success of this aerial vehicle would lead to a demand for it in the United States. Now people in the United States of America have started to become ever so aware of

And the simple fact they work is why the Obama administration relies on this aerial vehicle. Based on the data that has been acquired by the New America Foundation, ever since President Obama had gained the presidential position. Drones have killed an estimated 3,300 terrorist, as well as 50 senior leaders of terrorist groups within Pakistan and Yemen (Byman).The fact is that other options proposed by critics against drone strikes are either impractical or costly. In countries such as Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, the arrest of militant would be extremely dangerous seeing as the government has little control over particular areas. And to make the situation even worse some countries such as Pakistan and Yemen, the government have joined forces with these militants. So in terms, the United States often sent their special forces to deal with terrorists within these countries. But still there are risks for instance a carrying officer could of the jihadists, most likely causing a firefight, casualties, and civilian deaths (Byman).For the United States, the use of drones is a safer alternative than asking our allies to do the dirty work of hunting down terrorist on our behalf. The use of drone strikes reduces the risk of bloodshed, for instance the military of Pakistan and Yemen are well known for torture as well as unselective bomb civilian areas (Byman). Drones that are used in place of aerial vehicles have the same benefits, and are low-risk and low-cost. When compared to military aircraft and soldiers, they can last a lot longer and have the capacity to do more in terms of the collection of information. They also do not need to worry about a hostage situation or a death of a military pilot(
