The protections for POWs in the Geneva conventions where written for actual soldiers, who put their lives on the line for their countries and people. Not for cowards hiding behind a screen, using pseudo-kamikaze tactics.

Drone pilots should be treated as unlawful combatants, to be indefinitely detained or worse if necessary. There is even a good legal justification for this. They don't technically wear uniforms when engaged in hostilities.

They remain combatants, even if this insulated. This feels like a throw back to the treatment of snipers or artillerymen in enemy hands.

They technically don't wear uniforms

They do until proven otherwise (you have to capture them).
