> Today if we make a mistake we bomb the wrong home and kill everyone. 25 years ago we bombed the entire village. The (supposed) ability to make surgical strikes leads to different decision-making than when dropping bombs meant wiping a while village off the map. It makes it easier to call for more bombings increasing the likelihood of more false-positives (i.e. bombing the wrong house). Hell, SWAT teams have a horrific record of storming into the wrong house guns-blazing, and they are not in life or death situations (i.e. they have enough time to plan / make sure that the address is correct).
