Some seem to feel that the accident of ones location at birth matters. It also means nothing to the dead.
Now I will grant that placing life and death decisions in the hands of one or a small group of individuals is a problem. The President carries the keys to the US nuclear arsenal, this is the biggest life and death decision ever known. The President can and several have ordered cruise missle strikes, invasions, and military interventions. These are often intended and targeted to kill specific people. All this stuff has existed for a very long time. The President is the chief law enforcement officer domestically. It is all reasons to select who to vote for very carefully.
All considered, the drone bit may, just may add 0.01 percent to the mix, not more.
