The argument for drones is that people do indeed break, and suffer and die. A machine can withstand more g-force, and if it is lost it was only a machine.
I'm not saying I support that argument, just explaining it.

Of course people display humanity in the midst of war. It happens a lot. That doesn't change Skybird's point that war itself is about nothing more than killing and dying. Trust me, it's not fun at all.
In the words of William Tecumseh Sherman:
"There is many a boy here today who looks on war as all glory, but, boys, it is all hell."
