In this day and age of cameras everywhere and dna testing. Yes, you can 100% guarantee that some people have committed the crime. The problem become between ‘beyond a reasonable doubt’ and 100%. Examples: Gary Ridgeway, Ted Bundy, Ed Gein. (But hey, according to you they might be innocent, let’s give them a standard of living better than the poor in our society)

I don’t think you know how war works.

The US doesn’t have the the emphasis on drone operations like modern conflict. They still see them as ISR and not force projectors/fires. Hard to learn skills when you don’t have the type of device.

Its like fighting an enemy that only they have artillery, you just have to keep getting blown up.

If you can use it as collateral, then it exists just as much as a house or property does.
