Culture so different and topography so vast, everyone wonders how peace can last?
As the rhetoric flies the separation so grand, will there ever be peace on this region of sand.
Standing on religious doctrine of days gone by, it is hard to give up your strength and battle cry.
Let's not let history repeat, let's get together talk it over, we must meet.
The Crusades are over long ago, so its time for a new tomorrow and we must go.
Our religions not so different we all know god, why do we fight over sand and sod.
Throw your mis-tempered weapons to the ground, no need for torpedoes and missiles the speed of sound.
Turn back your armies and turn back your tanks, go back to negotiations and use the word thanks.
In wartime it is the innocent who die, why do we long to hear these mothers cry.
Stop this insanity and stop it now, give peace a chance we must find out how.
Funding terrorism has to stop, why do clean the spilt blood by mop?
The nuclear age is upon on now, we cannot allow them in the hands of terrorists, no way, no how.
Why does someone have to win and someone else lose, why not the forward progression of humankind to choose.
The United States is only doing what it must, it is time to stop terrorism, they should know it’s a bust.
Destroyed missile launchers and tanks to rust, war is not pretty when you look at nothing but ashes in the sand and dust.

CUAV Strategy Considerations
Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicles of the future will fight along side their human counterparts for a while, until eventually they will be so superior, that a human would not stand a chance. Of course CUAVs cannot beat enemy fighter pilots until they can modify their software and learn thru artificial intelligence.
Indeed, there is also going to need to be some redesigning of these systems and their flight control surfaces. Many UAVs has spoilers to help them steer, but for the CUAVs to be truly agile the CUAV Spoilers need to be re-designed to remain efficient without killing lift or unnecessarily creating drag to maneuver as this is a bad strategy. As things advance efficiency is the most important component to fluidity of motion and performance otherwise the CUAV cannot survive.
If a CUAV is damaged in combat then the US Navy cannot allow it to return and land on the ship, rather it should proceed into the target making itself a smart missile. Thus new flight protocol is needed, as to not endanger the ship or crew. This needs to be the new protocol until future units have better control systems.
Currently, I disagree with companies like Athena and defense contractors so worried about Brand Name that they might advise the US Military to try to recover and land VTOL CUAVS or STOL UAVs back onto ships or carriers. Yet, I realize with continued research and development these issues will indeed be solved and then it makes sense to safely recover such units. Nevertheless all these are issues which must be considered as new CUAVs enter our military ranks.
