Iranian official blames deadly bombing on 'U.S. actions'

[Aemilius Paulus]

Well, it's better to be sure.

Not only that, but snipers can die, drones obviously cannot. Snipers can also be stopped, as they will have to infiltrate hostile territory, but drones cannot be stopped - or detected by the primitive Taliban for that matter - not only is it more effective, but it is also a psychological blow (as well as a morale booster for US). lastly, snipers cannot reach someone inside a house and not by a window, or someone at the wrong angle (at the top of the roof as the recent Taliban leader casualty was). Drones simply annihilate everything.
