When command transmits to the UAV "You just took out a friendly",..it responds with ....."OOPS. This one, I have found is as fun to write as it is to read. Computer wizards will take me apart for the terminology and process methods that I have the big computer programed for but,,..that's all part of fiction IMHO.
