The drones have saved more lives then we will ever know. Do you remember what the losses were like in Iraq until Drones were brought in in more numbers?
Drones are winning the war in Afghanistan no its not the quickest thing ever and there are serious losses. But the enemy now fears not being able to do the attack now. They never feared perishing in the attack but the fear of not doing their deed for their god is a pretty good bit of discouragement.
BTW the process of an attack is not just press a button and go. Approaval has to be given for every shot. Often news reports talk of how drones will sometimes hover for hours waiting for the targets to group together and gathering valuable intel.
