  • The Air National Guard has deployed medium-altitude drones to help airlift and search-and-rescue units find victims in disaster-stricken areas, its top general said Saturday.
    .
    The Guard is flying unarmed MQ-1 Predators and MQ-9 Reaper drones, as well as manned RC-26 mobile intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance planes, to scour areas in Texas affected by Hurricane Harvey, according to Air Force Lt. Gen Scott Rice, director of the Air National Guard.
    .
    And they’ll use them for Irma, too, he said.

Part of that YUGE defense budget that the pussies always bitch about.

I'm reticent, soft spoken and polite by nature. It's so hard to really unburden myself.
