Officially civilians fly unarmed surveillance missions and uniformed personnel fly missions where ordnance is carried. They may further limit civilians, or maybe not.

That said contractors have been doing the intelligence analysis behind missions to kill people using drones. Even though the missiles are fired by uniformed soldiers, there's a big gray area right behind them.



What about blackwater being paid to kill people on a regular basis in Iraq? Is that a gray area?
