There is nothing good about it, but itis sometimes necessary, and so somebody better be good at it. I am youbetter be Gen Mark Welsh, in a speech to USAFA cadetsAs the [UAS] program has developed we have realized its value extends wellbeyond UAS-RPA and unmanned ISR. This program uniquely provides USAFAcadets an incredibly realistic air combat experience. I dont believe any otherprogram here gives our cadets a better glimpse into their futures as air powerleaders. Lt Gen Gould, USAFA/CC
