Predators provide eye in the sky for relief effort in Haiti

[fstwrtr]

PR work for the predator.. " see folks, we can do more then just Kill civilians!".. it would be a little unnerving to see one of those circling around

[MisterMadBastard]

good grief what a tremendous waste of resources.

ffs just leave to savages to drown in their own filth.

it's gods will that the vermin should be purged from the earth. this is what they get for messing with voodoo the fucking barbarian bastards

[Daritto7117]

Apparently they cost millions, but they look like their supported by a tripod lol

Insert conspiracy theory here _______________.

[wtfisthismess808]

Nice to see the US are putting money into this unless junk.

[ftcentrepreneur]

I wonder if they are dropping off some Mcy'D's... thought this was supposed to be a relief mission. Nice seeing a well funded program in use.... ok, not really. lol

[anarchyclayman]

for all intents and purposes, google maps does a pretty good job of checking out the devastation in haiti. those fucking spy planes are flying over cuba.(or some other poor central american country)

[bl0000000000]

hmm...I always thought they were smaller

[soundsliketruck]

I am sure someone will find a conspiracy in this.

[ImmobilizedLion]

Looks like the UAV in Modern Warfare 2

[thetreeregimovies]

@ImmobilizedLion it is lol! its the Predator.

[anysnail]

@ImmobilizedLion that's cuz it is

[mapmanic]

Well that settles it, then... good thing we spent all those gazillion dollars on military hardware...

[briavila113]

Instead of providing humanitarian aid, the US sends warplanes and troops, lol. Haitians can't eat bullets... they need food

[zoemayne]

is this really necessary? cant they use satellites nothing is really changing on the ground

[XXNeonXX54]

@zoemayne Uhh... it's something called satellite jamming technology. And plus, you need to see individual units on the battlefield because a satellite can only provide a general picture of the environment.

[zoemayne]

what are u talking about why would any satellites need to be jammed?

[daderone]

i think he thought you were asking a general question in regards to the use of unmanned aircrafts. Obviously Haiti is not jamming our satellites. It is a better medium than satellite can be in some ways though for all uses, I think thats pretty much proven fact.

[daderone]

did you ever think that maybe this helps the aide and expands our ability to locate survivors, areas in need and to moniter progress? Why can't we use both? A lot of people have been helped that wouldn't have, I don't see any good in limiting our abilities. It sure costs less to run a UA than something manned and can even run along side of or off the path of rescue choppers, aide convoys etc.

I would say its cool they get to be used for something other than war.

[regnierraul]

AC-130 :P

[ImmobilizedLion]

No. Its the UAV plane -.-

[bluevidcam]

am I the first one to post?
