Thank you for the link. :S they were found in a trash bin... that's very odd and donno if it's what would happen if it was because of a drone strike. ISIS/Taliban wouldn't miss an opportunity to demonized the American military efforts.
I never said that drone strikes were the best way to deal with the militants, especially since they tend to set up shop close to civilians as a defensive tactic. But I do question if the drone strikes will end at all, under any president; after all, the end of the article did state that the military hates letting go of what's a relatively cheap, reliable, easy and "clean" tool in their eyes. They can sell the hell out of it, and probably have.
Unless Trump or Shillary address the issue, I seriously doubt it'll change.
Edit: I also wonder if this type of pic will target Trump like it does Obama, if he wins and doesn't limit the use of targeted drone strikes.

90% of casualties from drone strikes aren't the intended target(s).
