Colleen Fischer | Wednesday, April 4, 2018

Stephen Raab | Thursday, October 9, 2014

The Obama administration has overseen an eightfold increase in the number of attacks flown by unmanned aerial vehicles or “drones.” These small, pilotless aircraft have become popular with the U.S. Air Force for their ability to take on dangerous missions deep inside hostile territory while keeping American servicemen out of harm’s way.
