Drones won't solve this problem

Technology has improved since Vietnam and Cambodia. But we still can't bomb our way to victory.

I turned 20 years old sitting at a light table in a bright white building at a sprawling U.S. Air Forcebase in Saigon, South Vietnam. I was assigned to a reconnaissance unit, where my job was to select bombing targets in Cambodia. Then, as now, Cambodia did not have much in the way of traditional targets, and as an inexperienced targeteer, even when sober, I really had little idea what I was doing. That didn't slow things down much.
