An American aerial robot killed people this week in Iraq, according to DefenseTech. The MQ-9 “Reaper” “dropped its precision munition” on “two suspected improvised explosive device emplacers.”

I couldn’t agree more Mary.
Thank God I live in a country that doesn’t making destroying the nonbelievers priority number one. Tuition is public, my liklihood of a well-paying job upon graduation is higher and our currancy is STILL worth more than the USD because the equal education opportunities mean that there are more smart people being educated and actually contributing something. Oh and the robots I know aren’t likely to kill me.
Good times.
