42. I think it's like any weapon. It's not that they are used. It's HOW they are used.
In the latest incident, it seems to have been programmed on a specific vehicle/location containing only AQ.

There have been incidents in the past, though, where a number of innocent people were killed. I remember a wedding party, where the U.S. mistakenly thought something else was going on. I remember other incidents like that, one in particular where it hit the wrong target (a mistake). The U.S. apologized, but those innocent people were gone.

But the latest incident, if true, is how I think they are supposed to be used, or should be used. And seems more careful and kills fewer people than driving a tank in there and shooting everything in sight.
