"...the drone is the most expensive part, and the most expensive cost of the mission is the munitions."

I think Ledswinger was being cynical, not compassionless. Rather than suggesting that human life is cheap, he's suggesting that the drone program leaders think that way. Collateral damage? Pfft. Whatever, as long as our budget isn't harmed.
He's not saying human life has little worth, just that it's seen by the decision makers as having little cost.
Don't shoot the messenger.
