I think this is something that needs to be more deeply explored, especially if we're going to start using software to do things like "acquire targets." Now, lots of "deployments" for folks that fly Drones aren't deployments in the traditional sense of the word (they aren't in the combat zone). But...how will this work when you're part of a team that runs a semi-autonomous killing machine?
