872: Kinetic Kill

ISIL Drone Usage and Kinetic Kill Terminology

A US military commander in Iraq describes ISIL's "creative" use of drones for reconnaissance and as "Trojan horses" rigged with explosives. The commander uses the term "kinetic kill" to describe shooting down drones with small arms fire. The hosts mock the use of such "idiotic" military terminology and predict that these stories will be used to justify new regulations or bans on civilian drones in the United States.
