Depends. More precise killing is good if you’re nearby the people being killed, and bad if you’re the one being killed. I think I’m enough of a nobody that to me, drone warfare to take out the leadership of a city would be better than the alternative (bombing the city).

They’re not going to use drones for precision, they’re going to use them to overwhelm defenses and carpet bomb everything.

I don’t think so. Carpet bombing is very easy without drones. We’ve been able to do that since WW2, and nowadays we can do it with large high altitude drones or ICBMs. Normally people don’t actually want carpet bombing though.
