There is an ethical and moral dilemma when it comes to the military's use of drones. Granted, because they are remotely piloted, the loss of life is dramatically reduced, and the risk is purely financial. However, a drone is also unable to make quick, ethical decision about whether or not to fire. For example, if a drone is set to fly over a specific set of coordinates and drop explosives on a set destination, what if the target is no longer there, and instead it's full of civilians?

As a quick summary, drones are good because they are better at their jobs, cheaper, safer, legal, and above all, they are the next level of warfare. On the other hand, drone strikes cause destruction to the incorrect targets, create enemies for the United States, and violate the ethical beliefs of some people.
