Ethical issues with Drones

The actions of drones are only capable of being evaluated based upon the actions of the person controlling them. 

We can evaluate the actions of a person controlling the actions of a drone, the intentions of the person directing the actions of a drone, and the consequences of the actions intended by the person controlling the actions of a drone.

In wars, the fundamental rationale for drone use relies on this principle: drone capacity for precise targeting can save civilian lives.

But if a war is just or a target legitimate, then isn’t using drones the best way to go because it will potentially have the lowest number of unintended casualties?
