Drones don't require thousands of troops on the ground. You missed the entire point, but that's okay

That mileage limit is a good reason for us to buy a base of action, huh? <g>

missles are just as accurate and far more lethal. 6000 mile roundtrip range though you usually only use half of that.

When you figure out the cost of the base, lives lost maintaining it and bribe money needed to keep them going, tomahawks though expensive are extremely cost effective.
