I'm all for Reaper strikes if it keeps our soldiers from having to go in and put their life on the line.This seems like the safest way we have to fight back.Pretty sure Hellfires are the missile that are also fired from Apache helicopters as tank busters and are accurate.ISIS don't fight fair so if we can kill them without putting our soldiers and pilots lives at risk then all the better.

These terrorists surround themselves with civilians as human shields. So, no matter what method you choose to attack them with, there will be unwanted casualties.

I'm not getting this aversion to using drones, the reasons for not using them don't hold water I'm afraid. The same technology is used in drones as would be used on a manned flight. Are you saying we should forgo any form of missile attack and engage them in hand to hand combat? If so I would have to laugh I'm afraid.

The Method of Sniper
means you kill the terrorist
and they can be a near a mile away.

So you are not correct
about "no matter what method"

That would require us having to put our forces on the ground. Thats certainly not going to happen any time soon, and it would also result in us taking many more casualties. Something else that is not going to happen.

If we want to combat the isis threat any time soon, the most effective method is drone attack
