Just early morning musings....are drone operators the new snipers?

 I know what you're thinking with the title of this post.  Of course they're the new snipers.  They can hit from further away and with high accuracy.

Not where I was going.

In terrible times, the enemy (or us) catch a sniper then its gonna be a very bad day for them.  Have heard stories about snipers being caught in Vietnam and unspeakable things were done to them.

You go against US forces and if they can see you then an artillery or main gun from an MBT was going thru your window.

Watching the action in the Ukraine/Russia war I can't help but believe that drone operators will get the same treatment.

Unlike snipers alot of their stuff is posted online so they could also be subject to war crimes (depending on how the attack is done...which is ONE of the reasons why our drone operations usually happen inside the US and not overseas...the personnel would definitely be hunted at best or subject of foreign laws at worse).
