I feel like an idiot saying this, but what exactly are these drones?

And the government can just kill any USA citizen who's outside of the country if the government feels like the citizen is acting unloyal?

Unmanned airplanes that can missle people to death via remote control.

And... more or less.  They have to act in an unloyal way that makes it seem apparent they've given up US citzenship.

This of course has no actual definable qualities and we're just relying on the old "People will get mad if the government goes too far" plan.

So, while the person is walking down the street or in an office, they'll send a goddamn bomb down to explode and kill them? I must totally be misunderstanding something here.

 

And what about others who are near this person? A BOMB? I'm confused.

Not so much a bomb as a Air to Suraface missle originally meant to blow up tanks.  Though yeah.  That's about right.

Though not so much offices as impoverished villages.

Also, done without the approval of the governments of the countries this takes place in.  Even when said government is considered our ally.

 

Essentially imagine if France were to just suddenly use a warplane to missle some guy they thought acted like a terrorist that might target france... and killed him and a few innocent people as well....

except like... 40+ times a year. (per country).

Damn. The ones in Battlefield 3 can't target infantry or buildings, only ground vehicles.

 

Really though that's insane. If *anything*, why don't they just go in personally to arrest the man, bring him here, and charge him?

 

Or just...go in and shoot him secret agent style a-la James Bond?

Why an ATG? That's so overkill..
