An MQ-9 Reaper drone takes off at Creech Air Force Base in Indian Springs, Nevada.
Drones are taking a major role in President Obama's national security efforts, which is surprising to some and sensible to others. But it's safe to say that all around, using drones raises big moral questions about the transparency of war, civilian casualties and setting geopolitical precedence.
Host: Michael Krasny
