"Children of the cold sun and the broken horizon,
O secret faces, multitudes, eyes of inscrutable grief,
great breath of millions, in unknown crowds or alone,
rooms of dreamers above the cement abyss,-and I,
who all night restive in the unsleeping rain,
awake and saw the windows covered with tears.

Ryan O'Leary (Ukraine International Legion vet) has put out good posts on the subject outlining how drone warfare operates in the real world. Drones aren't the end-all be-all that some folks tend to make them out to be. He talks about the enabling and limiting factors of drones on the battlefield.
