I agree with you in condemning the indiscriminate killing done by the US. Technology may make existing operations slightly less evil.
If you look at the developments to the hellfire missile: https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/31409/everything-we-know-about-americas-sword-blade-hellfire-missile-and-its-latest-target https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/31409/everything-we-kn... . You can see that it's now more accurate and less likely to cause collateral damage.
The problem with the technology is that the more automated it gets, the more tempting and easy it is to use this technology liberally and frequently. I'm not against the inherent development of the technology. Only its application.

- dumbfoundded 7y agoCan technology be a tool of deescalation and an increase in precision? Do drone strikes prevent carpet bombing? I honestly don't know. We are in one of the most relatively peaceful times. The technology I worry about most is the hypersonic missiles.
