America's troubled drone policy: let the debate finally begin, in this article by John Kael Weston, he writes about how drones that are used in attacks on suspected terrorists affect those that are in the military and civilians alike.  He writes about a marine friend of his that is troubled by the way the drones are used.  Yes, they are killing those who pose a threat but also innocent bystanders.  The fact  that the government does compensate those families for their loses doesn't mean that its ok to keep doing it at any cost.  His marine friend goes on to say "our drone hammer makes everyone look like that nail that needs to be flattened."(thedailybeast.com) Meaning that others perception of what the US is doing is being done unashamedly.  John, along with his friend, doesn't agree with how the drones are being used and neither do I.  The drones should be used to take those out who are going to cause harm but, when using those drones it should really be taken into account all the innocents that are around.  The government shouldn't have to pay families for there loses if the attacks where done strategically and correct.  Besides that why should they spend more money that shouldn't be spent.  This article clearly makes you think about the use of drones and how they are being used, but also how there is a negative side to it as well.
