Are human pilots better at moral judgement? yes. For split second actions to avoid loss of mission or aircraft? no...

To prevent war from happening you do not elect war mongers to president and congress. But the fact is once the railguns and fleets of drones come online the power of the .gov will grow rapidly.

And unless we find a way to get off this rock.. War is going to happen regardless. The planet already can't support 6 billion and the population is still going to climb rapidly. Eventually somone is going to start fighting and we have to be prepared to fight regardless. That is why we need to stop wasting time on dumb wars.
