In fairness, those maps are likely used to ensure the bombs go where they should.
- AnimalMuppet 8y agoBetter that they go where they should, than that they go where they shouldn't. The more accurate the mapping, the smaller the bomb can be, and the less collateral damage (presuming that the targeting information is correct).

- reificator 8y ago> Better that they go where they should, than that they go where they shouldn't True, at least when you're not the one being bombed.
- jfoutz 8y agoThis is a clever point. I think, even if I am being bombed, I don’t want my neighbors to die[1]. I would care very much about why. But if the hammer is coming down on me, it’s better for everyone if it’s only me. [1] except maybe that one across the alley that starts loud parties at 3:00 am. If I’m going down you can too guy.
- jlarocco 8y agoTo be more fair, better maps means better targeting and less collateral damage. And the software can also used for logistics, base planning, humanitarian missions, rescue missions, etc.
