All 12 of them? They may live on their private islands.

Or even in the Whitehouse. Do you think approaching Whitehouse with a gun will be easier in the world of military thumb sized drones than it is today?

Those 12 people don't actually send the drone, they just tell someone (to tell someone, etc) to send the drone. Until we have full Skynet abilities, they will need a bunch of people on the ground to do the work.

Tech companies require less and less people to operate. Military will become tech company once small drones make infantry obsolete.

Right, but even tech companies have a lot of people. Google has 85000 employees, plus many, many more that produce supplies they depend on (like most of the hardware). It's not 12 people on private islands.
