stop using drone strikes in areas where there is significant risk of killing innocents. Use US soldiers instead.

The proportion of innocent lives killed is too high to justify the use of drones to kill intended targets! The following links indicate 20-30% of the death toll from drones are innocents, including children.

Do drones save us money compared to using US soldiers? I doubt it, but even if they did, is the cost in innocents worth it?
President Obama seems like such a reasonable and compassionate person whenever I see or hear him speak. As Commander in Chief of the military, shouldn't he have sufficient power to direct how and when drones are used?
We should be using US soldiers (and not PMCs) when striking areas where we expect many innocents would be at risk.
