If you want to get technical, they already had something like drones back in the 40s, except that they were balloons and you couldn't control them.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Indeed.

I like to imagine some grizzled pigeon out there telling the little pigeons that he could have been a fighter someday or something.
