The drone made warfare absolutely unilateral, killing without risk of being killed

Evidence

It could perhaps be claimed that this mutual right remains. But it must also be agreed that the right is no longer any more than formally mutual. — Grégoire Chamayou, A Theory of the Drone, 525 (#exemplifies, via linked claim)
