They're used for a lot more than the military, and contractors have the flight time to qualify as pilots for them. Why should military pilots be flying them?

Why should military pilots be flying them? Lots of them are on non-military missions.

My guess is that having contractors flying them introduces a level of "indirection" reducing any one organization's responsibility and, therefor, its accountability. 1. Of course there are other, non-military drones out there, but they aren't what we are discussing here.
