Agree

Yes, but only with permission from the country in question

Bush and Donald Trump administrations both conducted drone strikes in countries without explicit permission, such as Pakistan and Yemen. However, some Republicans may still support seeking permission when possible, hence the moderate score.

Disagree

No, the military has no right to do so without a Congressional declaration of war
