In a war theater there is no

war Humvees...


No. *If at all, there should be UAVs that are designed for domestic
operations during peacetime, instead of hardware designed for use in

And unless the military can show good cause to train over cities,
their UAV training should be restricted to unpopulated areas.


We happen to be fighting a war in an Urban area right now. Do think
that it might be helpful for the troops to train in an urban
