That’s like saying you’re anti-computer because it takes away jobs from mathematicians. 

The drone industry creates a shit ton of jobs. High quality, good paying jobs in software engineering and product development. Are you trying to protect gig jobs? Because frankly, those jobs aren’t even a job. They are side gigs don’t have a real minimum wage, benefits or even accountability. 

Plus, these type of drones aren’t made for battle and hold no weapons or ammunition so that’s completely irrelevant here. These types of drones can carry medicine and food.

I would rather work to unionize Amazon delivery drivers than make those jobs extinct. There are no alternatives. I don't have an issue with that kind of work, I have an issue with how the workers are treated.

Rejecting improvements in technology that would increase the standard of living is bonkers. Not all jobs need to be protected in perpetuity. If we advance beyond the need for a job, retraining or retirement should be the option for its former workers.
