Yikes. Not really just a celebratory thing but also a reminder of how drones are 
significantly different from other bombers. Previous bombers are significantly 
noisier, easier to spot from the ground with the unaided eye, require humans in the 
bomber, and more frequent refueling. And yet, according to the stats we're given, 
even drones are not at all deserving of the "surgical strike" moniker spoken by those 
taking credit for being pro- and anti-war alike.
