So the MVP drones will do what twenty years of trillion-dollar brutality couldn't do? Wow you seem to have an even lower opinion of the effectiveness of USA military than I do... I suspect Taliban would laugh at this idea.

I mean #1 you missed the bit where I'm not being serious? But #2, the US military is just fine at blowing up specific named people in specific locations. It's trying to mould an entire nation with their own ideas and traditions into a carbon copy of America that they're not great at. Facebook, I think, would avoid this trap.

No they really are not any good at accomplishing any military objective. The Afghan War was originally pitched as "kill this specific person". Within a month of the start of hostilities, that person had relocated to a different nation. Somehow the war went on for another decade, before an ObL impersonator who had been held by ISI for years less than a mile from PMA Kakul was ceremonially executed as an elaborate reelection campaign event. Somehow, the war also went on for another decade after that.

Of course I know this is all a joke, but I enjoy taking jokes seriously. It seems that only nations who are carbon copies of USA in the very worst sense could harm their own citizens to enforce TOS of American firms. (For instance, no one would be surprised if Australia did this.) I suspect that even a very extensive drone force would fail to accomplish Facebook's goals in Afghanistan.
