Military drones also remove part of the political calculation otherwise involved in attacking somewhere.
When soldiers are put in situations where they are being killed, in a fairly free society someone is generally going to ask the question of why they are there and whether they should continue to be.
Loss of military drones is only reported in specialised press if at all.

IF they had had weaponized drones available back then I am 100% convinced the Bush Administration would have invaded more countries. The only thing that stopped them was the loss of life of US soldiers. Same for the Vietnam war. The only thing that stopped the war was loss of life.
