Its nice we dont have to worry about the planes crew being held as hostages and prisoners of war. And the fact they cant be shot from the air. But im afraid im to the point I wish it was the days when the leaders led the military out front. And all was done face to face. I appreciate the military men this saves. But afraid it will just lead to more war and killings. Much different to fight from a far and pretend its not so bad what youre doing. God help us that technology is helping us to feel less and kill many many more. Just 13 months ago (July 10, 2013), the US Navy successfully conducted take-offs and landings from a fairly new nuclear aircraft carrier, the USS George H.W. Bush, with a new stealth jet called the X-47B. What is so different about this plane is the fact that it is a drone. Yes, it is completely unmanned. Drones come in all sizes, and the X-47B is likely one of the larger ones. What is so ironic about all of this is the fact that the enemy cannot detect a plane like this in the first place. In the unlikely event they get lucky at shooting one down, there will be no human loss of life or captivity. As you view the flight deck crew signaling the plane, they are simply signaling the on-board cameras, which in turn are being manned by staff inside the command intelligence center (CIC) onboard the ship. Also check out the short distance this plane needs for a take-off.
