Several U.S. Drones are used to hunt the enemy, so that marines forces are able to see their enemies on the radar, but some other UAV are armed with high technology rockets, which are able to be controled by a computer, what makes them one of the most used technology on the world.
Predator Drone (similar to the one involved in the accident)
The two U.S. troops were a navy medic and a marine. Both were sent there to fight enemy troops, as the south of Afghanistan is a territory in were there's still war. "The only thing whe can imagine is that both soldiers were cofused with enemy troops", two officials from the U.S. army had spoken in anonymity, as they are still investigating this case.
Maybe friendly fire in a battlefield may happen, but this is a special case, as both soldiers weren't on a fight. The U.S. army should b more carefull at the moment of firing those rockets, because they are able to kill ten men in just seconds, in fact, one of those rockets is capable to kill a tank. The U.S. army is commiting a great mistake at the moment of allowing their Drones fire at enemy that hasn't been spoted yet, because accidents like this one may occur. The U.S. shouldn't have this technology ifthe don't know how to use it properly, if accidents like this one are going to continue happening, it woul be better that they stop using them.

This UAV's are a real issue nowadays, because with this increase in unmanned military weaponry, more people knows how to handle this weapons, so sometimes people from the other side of the struggle might found how to use them, and it might have endings like this one.
