They don't need to go wild to cause more civilian deaths than soldiers would. There is much less risk sending a robot to kill than there is sending a human. H

There is much less risk sending a robot to kill than there is sending a human. Humans fear death. Robots do not.
Contractors claim that drones are accurate. However that can never guarantee that the human controllers are accurate. Humans controlling robots may err to the side of killing too many than too few, to a greater degree than soldiers would.
So yeah I think there are some reasonable arguments against them. Jet fighters and bombers are somewhat limited by personnel and higher equipment costs.
Drones do not require as much training to operate and will not have as much of a personnel constraint in the future. They could be as dangerous or worse than nuclear weapons for a country that is being attacked by them in the future. Rather than wiping out a population, drones could create slaves.
