the other side starts using drones in
this country?" The reasoning is that

By and large, readers supported
use in limited terms – restricted to
use when troops are in harm's way.
Noted Billy Fannin, commenting on
Overdrive's Facebook page, "There's
nothing wrong with it in combat.
When our boys in uniform are in
harm's way, we will take any advantage we can get."

The national
divide over U.S.
use of drone aircraft in targeted
strikes in war-torn
areas around the
world was well illustrated in two
comments from readers under an
OverdriveOnline.com poll.
"Send more drones, bring more
troops home!" exclaimed one. That
voiced perhaps the No. 1 reason
the U.S. government has come to
rely on drones for terrorism-related
actions overseas: keeping American
troops out of harm's way.
A view of drone use as waging war with no skin in the game,
How do you view U.S. use of
drones in combat operations?

over other brands
"I began using Double Coin tires and they delivered a smooth ride with ample
amount of grip. We put these tires through multiple seasons of heavy snow,
extreme heat, countless boat ramps all over the country, and they performed in
every situation! The bottom line is always a concern, and when you find a set of
tires that can perform as these have, you know you got the most for your money!"
