43 funeral attendees are killed by a drone at a funeral for a friend who was killed by a drone.
I'm pretty sure I saw this exact joke on the Family Guy. Only this time its not funny...
And what about Pakistan? Are we at war with them. I thought they loved our freedom?

I recently met someone who just returned from working on rebuilding projects through an aid organization in Afghanistan. One of the things she mentioned is that Afghanis generally celebrate by shooting into the air, kinda like the Chinese celebrate with fireworks, and that there are numerous incidents of wedding parties being bombed. When I worked on UAV projects I'd heard of the practice of flying drones around hot spots to determine locations where people start shooting at them and then carpet bombing the place. Since militants tend to be young, uneducated, generally not too bright it's like shooting fish in a barrel.
But yeah, that's a Predator, not a Scan Eagle. It's bigger, much more lethal, and a little more expensive...
Oh, and not made in the Gorge.

pfft, i'm pretty sure that is a predator drone
you labeled with Insitu.
Insitu just makes small reconaissence drones,
the scan eagle and the integrator now.
the way i see it, what insitu does
is save peoples lives by keeping
them out of the bush.
none of it is funny,
but i respect what Insitu does.

The DroneStory doesn't start 'til about 5 minutes in, though, but then it gets good!
You guys don't make Predator's 'lil buddy, Shadow either??

It's not funny, no. By calling it a joke it is YOU who trivializes it.

By calling it a job, it is YOU trying to legitimize it.

who mentioned a job?
You're the guy calling names, faking photos, and trying to insult people.
Good luck with that.
