    "Unlike the U.S. and other militaries, where UAVs are flown by certified, costly-to-train fighter pilots, Israeli defense companies have recently built their UAVs to allow an average 18-year-old recruit with just a few months' training to pilot them."

    In other words, soon all of us could become highly sought after, highly paid professionals, with generous government pensions. If so, I would love the irony.
