drones drones drones

On Wednesday, the Navy conducted its first successful aerial refueling using an unmanned aircraft, or a drone. The X-47B drone was able to connect to the manned Omega K-707 and transport 4,000 pounds of fuel. The Navy hopes to continue technological development in the field of unmanned aircraft and eventually be able to have drones used in real combat and surveillance situations.
USA is the best and this story proves it. We are using our intellect of technology and our innovation to make more than the new iPhone 6. The Navy is saving lives by pushing toward more unmanned battle tactics, or simply helping avoid battle at all by using these drones for surveillance so any threat may be known about early enough to avoid it. There is definite controversy over drones however. Some say they are unreliable, unpredictable, and stealing good, hard-working military men and women’s jobs. FIRST OF ALL, no person is really that reliable and predictable. Look at the plane crash in the Alps that occurred a couple weeks ago. The pilot went berserk and he seemed perfectly sane. Yes, a drone could malfunction and crash, but a humans could make the same mistake and they have made the same mistake. That being said, I do believe in restrictions on how much drones should be allowed to do. No unmanned aircraft should ever be allowed to be responsible for the transportation of people. Now concerning the robbing the military faculty of their jobs, I think it is a good problem to have. Many people, along with myself, complain that these men and women are away from their families too long and are dying too fast. If finding a military job in the US becomes a problem, then more industries will be developed and other areas of potential explored. Even other divisions of the military could be improved if there are less personnel needed to fly jets to refuel and transport goods. All in all, DRONES DRONES DRONES!!!<3
