How does Strawser respond to the objection that using drones will lead to more noncombatant deaths?
A) By arguing that noncombatant deaths in drone strikes are collateral casualties rather than intended effects and that the obligation to protect one's own warfighters overrides the obligation to protect enemy civilians.

C) By arguing that although drone strikes currently kill more noncombatants than some other forms of combat, continued use of drones will lead to improvements in drone technology that reduce the number of noncombatants killed.
D) By arguing that because his central claim, OP, is only about justified military operations and operations that kill civilians are not justified, his claim does not apply to drone strikes that kill civilians.
