How does it relate to the slanderous accusations that his org stole money and supplies? To tell you the truth, if I were him, and I trusted my source, I would have done the same thing. Not worth the risk.
I have no idea. I imagine that the accusations came about as a result of the pissing match that ensued. At one point DeLemus did ask Rhodes to turn over the supplies so that he could deal them out and Rhodes refused. As he rightfully should have. He and the OK's owned the comm and FLIR equipment and those are not inexpensive items and Bundy's ranch is not the only confrontation that could spark at a moments notice. So, Delemuses' guys decided to just steal some of them and DeLemus never made an honest effort to retrieve them.
As far as the possibility of an actual drone strike I think I would have sided w/ Ammon Bundy and the militia hierarchy. I'd put the probability of Holder doing something like that at less than 1% at the time. It is just too high profile to use a drone strike and, as others have mentioned, the damage one can do against personnel is limited.
