The actual danger from militarized drones actually comes not from "strikes", in the sense that the military uses them (mostly from large predator style UAVs), but in the militarization of police as it relates to using drones. In this case I am mostly seeing gas powered helo-uav's with armaments attached, and the laws are quickly being passed to dot the i's and cross the t's for LE. http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/08/27/435301160/north-dakota-legalizes-armed-police-drones http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/08/27/435301160/... So you are correct in that we won't see hellfire missles deployed on US ground, but rather small arms on wings... which is almost scarier to me simply because a hellfire would raise eyebrows, but a news snippet of using a armed drone to engage a $villan is sure to become normalized far too quickly.
