U.S. Military Drone Pilots - The FUTURE of Modern Warfare

U.S. Military Drone Pilots are one of the most important jobs out there, and you guessed it, they fly drones, also referred to as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). You might be familiar with one of the drones they fly - the MQ-9 Reaper.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

The drones that are really changing the battlefield are quadcopters (and more rotors) that are surveilling, bombing, acting as forward observers for artillery and delivering targeting data, and carrying explosives to the enemy, up close and personal.
Ukraine's adoption and use thereof has rewritten ground conflict, from the air, and from a distance from the enemy.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
