I agree whole heartedly. The problem is, before, you had to convince and train enough people to fly jets and kill. It was "one person for one jet". In theory, in about 3-5 years (if not now) we could have one pilot in a room flying over 3 different regions of the world, only taking over control to "go in for the kill". I'm confident as a hobbyist I could build a system that would let me fly 3 small quadcopters (drones) in my back yard with autonomous mode & then switching each to manual control 1 by one. The technology has outpaced our policy around peace. Drones represent the potential for a disproportionate amount of people to be put in harms way vs the old way.
