They serve on the front lines in an new era of warfare. And the gig comes with parking. It also apparently comes with a tremendous amount of stress. The NYT's Christopher Drew and Dave Phillips explain why, for the first time, the Air Force is cutting the number of drone flights. "Having our folks make that mental shift every day, driving into the gate and thinking, ‘All right, I've got my war face on, and I'm going to the fight,' and then driving out of the gate and stopping at Walmart to pick up a carton of milk or going to the soccer game on the way home -- and the fact that you can't talk about most of what you do at home -- all those stressors together are what is putting pressure on the family, putting pressure on the airman." (I'm guessing it's also pretty stressful for those on the receiving end.)

+ Variety looks back at the time that Blockbuster could have bought Netflix for $50 million. (Ironically, at the time they went under, I had a VHS tape that was so late, I owed Blockbuster $50 million.) Before we call this an epic fail, let's keep in mind that if Blockbuster had purchased Netflix, by now Netflix would probably be worth less than Blockbuster paid for it.
