A new way of war

That's Andrew Bacevich's opinion.  He argues that by keeping the civilian population 'immunized' from our military actions Obama and company have gained a free hand to do essentially what they want wherever they want. 

One thing they want to do is expand the use of drones, not only to gather intelligence, but to kill people, some of whom have no skin in the game.  Does it matter that we send these drones to whatever country we want in violation of international law?  What would will our reaction be when the drones start landing here?

Then, there is the question of SpecialOps. Again, Obama wants to use them whenever and wherever he sees fit.  The notion that Congress - not the President - declares wars is now passe.
