probably many times in a theater of war.

1) There is an actual official answer to how many US citizens drone killed 2) Yemen is not theater of war.

Drones being the key part of your tweet.

Welp, you see drones are a technology that allow the remote premeditated killing of US citizens outside of war zones. So yes.

first to have the weapon yes.
