All america cares about is the kurd area of iraq I reckon they'll consolidate kurdistan in iraq and syria and maybe join up the dots in northern syria then ask for the usa for gold for oil

He is. I feel like he, like many leaders, honestly believes "It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until it's target is dead" is a good goal.

quote:

“I couldn’t tell which way it was turning, or if it was straight, if it was upside down, or if it was right-side up. . . . I couldn’t grasp what was happening with the aircraft. And he said he thought it was upside down.”

-- Unidentified Predator pilot to investigators trying to determine how and why she flew the drone upside down before it crashed near Kandahar Air Base on Jan. 15, 2010.

“Um, I guess I’ll just be blunt and say not well.”

-- The Predator pilot who flew upside down, when asked by investigators how well her training had prepared her for such an incident.

All that says is two pilots hosed up and couldn't correctly interpret the instruments that they of course have. You seriously think their control panel doesn't have an artificial horizon? Seriously? That's a thing you think? Maybe they don't have an altimeter either.

No you're right, "I couldn't tell which way was up," is the exact same as, "I don't have the basic instrumentation to tell which way is up." No one ever panics and loses the ability to do otherwise easy tasks. I bet it's just a video feed and an x-box controller with no artificial horizon, altimeter or heading because I'm a loving baby idiot.

I'm mad about dumbs being dumb. I've never seen a drone control panel close up, but the whole idea that they don't have an artificial horizon because two pilot said they couldn't tell which way is up is just too loving retarded to exist. gently caress.

edit: It's not as if traditional pilots have never got disoriented and plowed their plane into the ground. JFK Jr comes to mind immediately. I'm no professional, but I'm pretty sure his plane had basic instrumentation.

Unidentified camera operator moments before his Predator crashed in the fog two miles short of the runway on May 17, 2011, in Djibouti, a country on the Horn of Africa where the U.S. military operates a large drone base.

If they had, say, an altimeter, horizon or an accurate direction/position indicator these shouldnt have happened. They're totally helpless when their camera gets a little smudged or fogged.

Although I think having those instruments exist, but be totally useless even to trained pilots, makes our drone program way way way worse and funnier, so idk why you're saying we shouldnt laugh at drones.

I never said you shouldn't laugh at drones. Clearly they have training issues. I'm saying if they don't have an artificial horizon I'll barbecue and eat my own dick. You seriously do just think it's a camera and an xbox controller.

edit: To make my opinion clear. I feel that some drone pilots cannot fly instrument only because they have poo poo training. That's much more likely than they don't have basic instrumentation. Like way more likely. It's not even loving close in terms of what is more likely.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phallic_stage

quote:

In Freudian psychology, the phallic stage is the third stage of psychosexual development, spanning the ages of three to six years, wherein the infant’s libido (desire) centers upon his or her genitalia as the erogenous zone. When children become aware of their bodies, the bodies of other children, and the bodies of their parents, they gratify physical curiosity by undressing and exploring each other and their genitals, the center of the phallic stage, in course of which they learn the physical differences between “male” and “female”
