The Future of Drones

An old Navy Fighter Pilot weighs in on Drones.

This is from Ace Jewell, CDR, USN (ret) now about 88 years old, fighter pilot in 3 wars and LSO extraordinaire. (Damned few like Ace left anymore!)

"Drones will not be late to briefings, start fights at happy hour, destroy clubs, attempt to seduce others' dates, purchase huge watches, insult other services, sing O'Leary's Balls, dance on tables, yell "Show us yer tits!!", or do all of the other things that we know win wars! I see no future in them.”

I'm afraid ACE, the frosting on the cake will be long gone before the cake is eaten. Meaning the great Red Barron and his Biplane will be the thing of the past and will have to accept it. However, if you were a reader of Buck Rogers, all this would not have been a surprise. Hard to realize that way back when, you wouldn't accept the idea of a piolet les plane nor a car, but look out we have them now. Even the shock value of the word "tits" has been lost as compared to the terrible letters "PG" as being pregnant
